My husband and I are leaving soon to visit relatives in San Diego, CA, San Antonio, TX, and Memphis, TN. That should take up about six days of our trip. My question is: what do we do with the other 3 to 4 months?
Here's the deal:
- we are both in our mid-60s; in reasonable health, enjoy meeting new people of all sorts and ages;
- we are traveling in an (old, not fancy) rv and taking our two active mid-size dogs;
- we like cities but prefer the countryside; we like to boondock but often buy a camp site for a few days if the location is nice;
- we are cheap, preferring to have fun admiring the scenery, getting to know a new town, and other freebies;
- that said, we are not broke and do have money for an occasional splurge;
- we are adventurous but not into intense physicality (no sky-diving, thank you); swimming and light hiking are good;
- we LOVE new cultures, ethnic food; dying to go to New Orleans, for example;
- we are Canadians who have traveled to Russia, China, Turkey, Israel, Mexico, Belize and Ecuador ; my husband's father was American but his family moved to Canada in nearly a century ago so hubby is a bit interested in exploring his roots (New York State, mostly); we are familiar with the West Coast and have seen a bit of Vermont and Boston and between; that's about it. Never been south.
Finally, we have to end up in Las Vegas at the end of February because a neice is getting married there.
Any suggestions are very welcome, both "must sees" and "off the beaten track" destinations where foreign travelers don't often go. Real America, in other words.
Thank you!
