Did you win the lottery? How do people afford such extravagant vacations? Sounds like a blast, hope you have a great time!
I still have to work every other week but I hope to get to the Oregon coast with my kids again this summer. Other than that I'll be camping in Idaho, but I really can't complain about that though.

I would find it a bit dangerous to tell the whole internet reading World when I'm not going to be home. And I would certainly not tell anything if my full name would be used on the forum, together with the location where I live.
We're going to the South of France, btw, ... but when?

Sadly, it is important to be aware but not live in fear. I am away from my rig for long periods of time, involved in many different activities and for a few years now, I haven't returned home. I typically share where I have been, not where I am going or where I am now. But without others sharing and talking about their trips and vacations, I wouldn't discover new and exciting places I might not have discovered on my own.

We have a number of smaller trips planned, but we will be heading off hopefully to the Czech Republic and eastern Germany (and visiting a 4x4 & adventure travel show in the latter and hopefully meeting up with a couple of RV.net members there) - probably passing close to Mark_be on the way too .

Actually we will just be zooming straight through Belgium, passing Ghent, Antwerp and maybe the corner of Holland on the way into Germany on the first day - or that is the plan anyway. Camp somewhere in Germany the first night, then onto the Czech border.
We visited Bruges last year on the way back from the Alsace via Luxembourg.

This is going to be my slow year. Being that I just bought the T/C last November and need to make some repairs on this third owner (me #3) I have not had time to work on it this past winter. Something about a defective firearm and a bullet through the foot.
I need to reinforce the front tie downs which will give me the opportunity to rework the propane cabinet, on the right side and repair the 120v electrical system on the hot water heater on the left side.
Replace the bathroom vent cover and repair the lighted circuit in that vent along with replacing the fan blades. Both plumbing vent covers need replacing and the roof A/C does not seem to be pumping out enough cold air.
Then some re-wiring on the shore power and generator output. Replace the old propane leak detector and the carbon-monoxide detector. Replace the old CRT TV with a newer Flat-screen and repair the satellite dish on the roof.
Repair the Horizon awning, if I can find the right parts and I should still have time to get to Tennessee for a week, North Carolina for another week in JUne. Maybe everything will not be completed by that time, but enough to be safe, dry and comfy. Then in September I'll spend another week in Indiana with a few thousand veterans.
Oh and for those trolls that are watching to see when I will be gone ... my house is protected by two brothers. Mr Smith and Mr. Wesson. AND while I am away, I have my SIL watching my house with his own insurance policy makers. To add to that, I have several neighbors that are aware of my travel plans and they will also be watching, as I do for them when they leave on vacations.
Next winter will be the upgrade year for the T/C, possibly getting it mounted in a Service/utility box and then put that whole mess on a gooseneck trailer. We will have to see if the Mayan's are correct about 2012.
