The cruise down the Mississippi is off. By the time I was ready to book, first available was 3rd week of November. I will not miss another Thanksgiving with the remaining family.
So I started to contemplate a New England cruise. Soon found out they are booked through September 2022. Besides it’s a large 3000+ passenger party boat, with (gasp) CHILDREN.
So, back to the drawing board. Started thinking about COVID-19, it’s variants, the fact we are both vaccinated but so many are not, especially in some regions.
The idea of traveling to New England still appealed. Higher vax rates are a good barometer.
Road trip!
We are taking a two week road trip, will end up on the Atlantic in Harpswell, Maine. Have all accommodations booked through VRBO. It’s basically travel 5-8 hours, stay two nights, and move on. Best part is, I’ve made sure the dogs can come with. We’ll take the truck, no concerns about what comes along, we are bringing our bikes.
I need to to study up on the MJ laws in the states we are passing through. Worst case, stock up in MI a few weeks before.
Here’s the itinerary: Indianapolis to Geneva on the Lake (Ohio Lake Erie), Niagara Falls (been there done that, but…), Hampton, New Hampshire, and Harpswell, Maine. This is feeling more in tune with the hopefully diminishing but on going Covid thing.
