With SWSBO retiring from the Sheriff's Office officially at the end of the month, we're starting to fill our calendar with trips to new places, old favorites, and some bucket list items to occupy our future days. Flagstaff next week ("inaugural" road trip), Moab for Off-Roadeo, New Orleans for the umpteenth time, and dozens more on the "Hey, you wanna go to..." list. Maybe even a river cruise or two. What's weird is we can now mostly just pick a place, find dates that are good for the weather, and go. That I'm not used to.
It's honestly more for her than me; I've got several lifetimes of travel under my belt, but since it was pretty much exclusively work related, I may as well get to be a tourist for a change. Since 1999, I've racked up around 30 countries, 450 cities, nearly 3 million miles in the air, over 6 years night-for-night in hotels, 750 or so rental cars (half of which were probably Tauruses), and entirely too many Applebee's with the odd Hooter's thrown in (I worked a lot of college towns). And that's just in my post-Navy retirement life.
Anyway, I'll try to remember to take pics, notes, maybe the odd vid or two, and give you my impression of places to see, food to eat, and trails to air down on.
