My brother and his wife are touring up the east coast in their RV. They started out in Savannah and stopped along the way to see so many interesting places. Last night he called from Canada. They had been to see Niagara Falls and were camping about eight miles away. They have mostly camped on military bases and shopped at the commissaries. They have really enjoyed seeing all the sights. They left the first of June and hope to be home the last day of July. Last summer they traveled up the west coast to Washington state. Last night he was sitting outside the RV wearing his coat enjoying a temp of 50 degrees. Hard to fathom when we are sweltering in the 90s.

@RubyHawk too bad i live in a place with no park or what. Just buildings and more buildings. Everytime i see a post with trees and rivers, i drool from envy.

@Janet357 I've always had trees to look out on. When we lived in houses we had trees all around us and here in the complex we have trees scattered around at the front and in a back apartment where we live there's a grove of trees behind us. I can't imagine being without trees. You must live right in the middle of the city.

We loved to travel and my husband loved to drive. We drove along the Old Route 66 many years ago, a lovely trip.

@RubyHawk We loved our trip a lot, we stopped time by time in an old Motel and stayed during the night and visited the area.

@LadyDuck I have never traveled very much but if I did that's what I would like, traveling state roads and stopping in small towns.

That would be enjoyable. Old Route 66 gets a lot of publicity.

That is an awesome trip. I love leisure trips when you stop when you want and not just drive on through. You miss so much when you do that.

Yes, it would be so much fun to stop anytime you wanted and see everything interesting. They started out with a long list of places they wanted to see.

@RubyHawk We enjoy travelling and are trying to do as much as we can while we're fit enough to cope with it.

It looks like you guys travel a lot. It must be fun to be out on the road seeing different scenery.

@JudyEv I hear you. You should travel if that's what you enjoy while you can. So many things could happen to prevent it.

How I wish I can travel riding in an RV. And sad to say, it is not allowed here.

Really, you are not allowed a RV? I wonder why not. We used to have one and enjoyed weekends trips. We never traveled a long distance.

@JustBhem That sounds so strange. I wonder what harm an RV could do. Other than use a lot of gas.

@Spontaneo I haven't been much farther. My better half is in a bad health and it's impossible for us to go far.

No, it isn't. This picture was the road to the Chattahoochee. I couldn't get the picture of Niagara Falls online,

@andriaperry Then they missed each other. My brother said they had made friends with folks they met along the way.

The two families might run into each other in Boston. My brother and his wife are going there on their way back. My brother served in the Air Force there during Desert Storm. He wants to see how much it's changed since he saw it last.
