Dreaming - Future Destinations
In Paul's thread regarding The Airplane and the Horse, Jeff made the following post:

This got me thinking... For the last four years Nora and I have talked about the places we shall go and the people we shall meet with the help of the -9.
Besides trips to our parents, we hope to take the future N941WR to the Bahamas and Alaska.
What destinations have you been dreaming about since you started on this journey?

Future trips
My wife and I are hoping to go to the Bahamas. I am originally from Ecuador, so I'd like to fly there also. Niagara Falls in short on the list also. Well, back to reality... darn, reality sucks!

My two big ones are the Bahama's and a tour of the rim of the Gulf of Mexico from someplace like Cancun all the way around to finish in Key West. Other than that, I'd like to spend some time in Montana, skiing in the UP, and I plan a visit to Kill Devil Hills.

I have been looking at the Bahamas as well. Probably late summer.
At the end of March, I am taking a week off and flying up to MD to visit my father and into PA to visit other family.
In April, after seven years of driving, I am going to fly into SunNFun for the first time with my son and do a little camping there.
I would love to go on a BBQ and Blues flying tour (Memphis, Chicago, Mississippi).
Also, would love to take a month away from work and family to just fly around the country with no real agenda.

Not too exotic, but I'm looking forward to doing a shoreline tour of the west coast...Seattle to L.A.
Mmmm...Napa....

I'd be happy with just flying the pattern.

How about the Four Corners?
No, not that place where CO, NM, UT, an AZ come together - although that is a cool place too (but I can do that in a weekend)!
How about the four corners of the Lower 48? San Diego, Seattle, Bangor...and maybe Key West? Might make for an interesting couple of weeks. But it sounds awfully ambitious. Maybe two weeks just wandering around the west - throw a dart at a map each morning.
Everyone has their own dreams!

Ok, I'll confess
I have been toying with the idea of flying Charles Lindbergh's 48 state tour after the Atlantic crossing. Don't know for sure which airports he visited or even if they are all open still, but I would like to visit all the states with my plane.

Rosie (and Tuppergal) the wanderer
Strolling past Paul Rosales's RV-6A at the Cable RV rendevous on Saturday, I noticed his prop card that is a map of the US. It had ALL the lower 48 and Alaska colored green. Now that is all four corners with the middle filled in! Rosie and Victoria live their dream. You (and me) can too. I just wish I had more time for everything!
Tom
From Rosie: Yes Tom, we are living our dream and have made many new friendships...all because we built an RV Keep poundin' them rivets because its ALL worth it!

This might be a modest goal for many of you but our aspiration for the summer is to fly from the West Coast (starting on the Oregon coast) to the East Coast and back. We'll take 2-3 weeks to do it so that we can lollygag (is the correct aeronautical term?) along the way.
