We took 6 trips in our RV, traveling 131 days, driving 17,206 miles. We explored portions of 21 states and "just" traveled through 6 more.
We have enjoyed exploring our big country, going at a fast pace. One of these years we will slow down. So much to do, so many places to see. We've have some unplanned visits to service centers for repairs. But our RV has 82,000 miles so it's understandable.
Sugarplums are not dancing in our heads, but dreams of where to go for next year.
Merry Christmas wishes and Happy New Year to all.
