Charlie and I are about to hit the road with the motor home again. This will be our 7th summer in a row, I believe, traveling the highways and byways of America. It’s been fun, first with our 26’ travel trailer, and, for the past five years, in the 40’ Monaco Windsor motor home.
This year we’ll head up to the Oregon coast, then to the Northern California coast, and then finish up on the Southern California coast, in Oceanside, dodging hot weather all of the way.
It’s nice because there’s no long-haul airline travel, which is bad for Charlie’s blood clotting issues, and our canine children can tag along, too.
Before the blood clots and the dogs, we used to travel all over the place…in ships.
We’ve been on a couple of dozen cruises, and we are “Diamond” members of Princess and Royal Caribbean. We get special perks when we cruise with them, like VIP bars and such.
Places that we’ve cruised to include:
We’re probably not done with cruising, although we’ve experienced most of the more common itineraries. It’s an easy and relatively inexpensive way to travel…and to chill out.
We cruised the Panama Canal for our 25th anniversary…
…and had a very romantic dinner at this rooftop restaurant overlooking Acapulco Bay.
Maybe we can do something like that for our 50th anniversary in 2024?
