Don't worry, you'll now how to do everything-it's just like riding a bike :-) We're in PA right now, we wear our masks when inside, limit our exposure to the public and primarily cook meals at home. Not too much different for us. The best thing you can do it prepare and it sounds like you've got that handled.

I think if our family was on the east side of the country we'd spend our summers in Upper Michigan. So much to love there. You'll have to go see Jim and Diana's new place.

I too often put off picking up the phone, much prefer making reservations online. But sadly so many are now requiring phone contact. Weird, but there it is.

So many wonderful places, some of which are our favorites, and some we've yet to explore. I've been thinking I need to start making reservations for next spring, too, if we're going to get back on the road. We already have our route figured out...it's what we had planned to do this year (Michigan and more) until everything went belly-up. <br /><br />You described the mixed feelings of excitement and trepidation perfectly. But I like your optimism. :-) Meanwhile, keep enjoying those gorgeous views!

All I need to do is rebook the same parks. I am looking at a ten day trip in early Oct, but I am struggling to get motivated to picking the date and picking up the phone. There's always tomorrow...haha! Your next spring plan sounds wonderful. Love many of those stops. Fun times for sure. Good to hear all is still going well with you, Bill, and Tessa.

Santa Fe was on my fall list this year but it's not going to work out - so sad. Santa Fe has always been one of our favorite spots to eat and explore. Maybe next year. We'll be in Arizona at various times in November and February/March (finger's crossed) so perhaps we can socially distance outdoors sometime!Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835706018073935049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-87512391809250099082020-09-03T12:50:18.019-07:002020-09-03T12:50:18.019-07:00Awesome news, Jodee!

If only he were here to go along in his wonderful gentle Way. I also seriously lack patience. This virus is really testing me. But we differ in that I don't share your excitement for the driving. <br /><br />Your trip sounds like great fun in two areas where I have never been with the RV so I sure wish I could Caravan along.
