Kauai has been postponed to ~January/February of 2019, which is probably for the best, budget-wise.

We just did a Winter Park, CO snowboard and ski trip a few weeks ago, which was awesome as would be expected.

We spend a lot of vacation time visiting family since we live 9 hours from them. And one 4 day vacation and a week vacation used between Spring Nats and Nats. I am blessed to have a wife that actually likes coming on those trips in spite of the fact she does not autox!

Basically, summertime vacations are balanced between family visits, camping and autox. Winter vacations other than Christmas are usually snowboard/ski trips

We are attending a wedding in May south of Boston. When that's over we fly to Savannah for 2 1/2 days. Just spent all morning with flight reservations, hotels, and making lists of what to do there.
Anyone been on a ghost tour there? It's pretty late at night, guess I can't fall asleep if I'm walking. But I'd like to hear if anyone did it and how much they liked it.
We're staying at the Andaz in the Historic District. Looked at the Inns, they are nice, but I prefer modern facilities, walk-in shower....

Oh, sorry. Well we spent several days in Boston a year ago when on our way to Spain and Morocco. They already got a chunk of our change. Jeez hotels are more expensive than San Francisco!

We have done a walking tour of Savannah, but not a ghost tour. We really like walking tours wherever we visit. We took one in Bermuda (personal tour guide) that last about four hours!! I was exhausted after that one. They normally last about an hour and a half.

One of the things I have planned for this summer is a July cross country trip to Alaska with Coop and his group of merry travelers. He plans to be on the road from Colorado to destinations in Alaska from early July until the end of July. Ihave a tear drop type trailer for towing behind my Jeep.


It only weighs 1200 lbs and it's powered by a solar panel on the roof.



In preparation I have to have some brackets welded on for Gerry cans, and do some other minor improvements.

All in all, so far, there are about a dozen people in the group. You can talk to Coop about it at Spring Fling this year, since he is registered to attend the Nanuet meet.
