Got it. No need to go 'on and on'. Travel=only way to understand the world and be a better person. No travel=ignorant and bad. It must be nice to live in a world where everything is so clear cut.
I feel like people do a good job of understanding one another. It's especially true if you factor in the incredibly diverse number of personalities and backgrounds that make up the human race.
Norman. Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like you and "G" are enjoying your retirement travels. In our retirement community we see every kind of RV. The Class B vans definitely seem to be getting more popular. My husband and I purchased a van last year, although it's just a Ford Transit that we had converted into a dog transportation vehicle. It allows us to take day trips without having to leave our dogs behind. Enjoy your week!
Thanks Dan. For two years the money sat in a savings account that, at one point, was earning 5.5% interest. So in that sense, I did have it invested for a short time.
Thanks Kathy! We love the van. No camping yet, but maybe someday. We purposely purchased a van that's capable of towing a small trailer in case we decide to go that route in the future.
Thanks for the lovely reply Bill! Your words reminded me of the many trips I took as a child. Some were road trips with me riding in the rear of a VW square back. When I was older, my parents purchased a Beaver motorhome and I rode up in the cab with them, sitting in between the driver and passenger seat. I'm a big believer in being prepared on road trips. I have an emergency kit in our van that includes a battery jump kit and a battery powered tire pump. And, of course, we always have extra water and food as well. Even though every place we go is on well-traveled roads, I still like the peace of mind the emergency supplies provide.

I think you should write a book. "The Quinn-tessential Guide to Travel".

Yep. You can pretty much guarantee any HD article I write will have some mention of our dogs in it!
