    Going on a Trip! See ya down the Road....

    Re-tired, or Re-tard. Depends on your attitude.

    Wow! Congratulations, trip of a lifetime right there! I've been to many of those locations, but only 2 or 3 of them I was on a bike, and never on one trip. Take loads of pictures and give us the run-down when you return. Ride safe!

    You're going to be in Orlando and not make the trip to Key West? Take an extra 3-4 days and go to the Conch Republic. I've been to many of the places you're going and Key West is near the top of my list.

    I recognize that trip. It was computer generated to take the most efficient route and cover every state in the lower 48.
    How much time do you plan on taking for such a trip? Are you doing it just to say you did it or are you planning on deviating from it along the way to check out points of interest not on the route?
    This summer I turn 68 and retired since 58. Each year I take one to two months and take off alone on my bike to see what's out there.
    I have circled the USA twice following the coast, run down east and taken the ferry out to Newfoundland and this June I head to New England and then down the east coast to the Florida Keys and then back home of course. I take tons of photos but haven't posted any yet.
    Fortunately I have lots of energy and good health so there's nothing to hold me back.
    Have a great traveling experience and I look forward to hearing more about your adventure.

    Am I missing something? North Dakota and West Virginia are left out.

    You're right, but I've been there before... 5 hrs from Miami? Kind of a big one-way detour...

    Did someone mention North Dakota?
    I'm 90 minutes from North Dakota.
    If someone's going to ND, I'll drive down and meet you.
    But I won't be carrying.

    I'm sure there will be lots of changes and detours along the way...

    Thanks!
