Trip plans
Slowly and with great moments of planning our next road trip is starting to be set up. Let me point out that I am nothing more than a spectator. Any of the efforts to choose and get reservations belong to my partner. So far we have reservations on a number of ferries as well as reservations in a number of campgrounds. We are early in the cycle which means that not every campground is open for business. They still won’t be a month from now. And so we must call and talk to people and get our names on lists and make sure that when we arrive we will not be left standing on the road. Tricky business. We do not know the actual area. All we have to go on are videos from others and what little we can glean from various advisory sites. But it will all work. Our last time out we went with no knowledge and no maps and no real destination in mind. This time around we are going in with both eyes open. We now know where it goes after you leave it on the various roads. One question has come up again in a game. If I am unable to see where we’re going will I still take pleasure from it. The answer is simple. Yes I will. Places come with a whole set of sensory inputs. The sounds and the smells are often as important as the sights. Although we will probably visit some small museums that is not the aim. We want to test the country. We want to take trails that go up and down again. We want to get wet if it rains and hot if the sun shines. Primary tourism. And since we are better equipped than our last visit to the area we should be able to do what we want on our own terms. As far as I know there will be little need to visit big shopping malls. And if we go to a cliff edge, we will move with caution. But that’s all in the future the near future. I will try to keep my blog on task.
