Travel
I don't have much to write about today since I just did a bit of shopping with Jeannie and only came home with two big, yummy-smelling jar candles. I probably wouldn't even post an entry, except for being inspired by Margie's blog yesterday, wherein she listed 5 places she was glad they hadn't missed in their journeys, and 5 places they want to see in the future. She invited comments and lists from readers, so here is my choice.
The 5 places I want to see when I get back on the road
1. Capitol Reef National Park, in Utah: I have seen several references to this park recently, but Laurie's recent blog cinched it for me;
2. Crater Lake, in Oregon: I have only heard wonderful things about this park;
3. Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks, in Wyoming: I'd love to see these parks when the crowds are gone, and do some major wildlife viewing;
4. The state of Maine (and possibly up into Nova Scotia): I have been to Maine several times, but never in an RV, and never into the deep woods. Hopefully I will find a camper that will take me there.
5. Tied for 5th place (sorry folks, I just can't decide) are the Grand Canyon, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Unless I can figure out a time when there aren't hordes of tourists, I might forgo the Grand Canyon.
As for the 5 places I'm glad I have been to, I can easily think of 5 and more, but they weren't visited in an RV. I think Tokyo would top my list - it is beautiful, safe, the people are majorly friendly, and it is unbelievably large.
That's it for now.

Reader Sherry asked some questions in her comment yesterday on the blog. Oh, and Sherry, the park we visited yesterday was a National Park, not a Provincial Park. The campsites in this particular National Park are all unserviced, but each park is different...
- The Grand Canyon
I saw the picture Kevin put up yesterday and it got me thinking! Do you have a "Bucket List" or a list of places that you must see before you die? Well the Grand Canyon was one of those places that we HAD to see. Click here to read more......
- Just A Short Update
I haven't found much to watch on TV since I got hooked up with AT&T, but did watch Ghost Busters last night. For some crazy reason I always liked that show. I did watch one of the DVD's today - this one is of Capitol Reef...
- My Trip In Retrospect
I was going to do a whole long post recapping my recent cross country trip, but most of you followed it anyway. Of course I loved visiting with all the people - family, old friends, and new friends. But I will narrow this down to places. In...

Bisons at Yellowstone by Aaron Villescas Yellowstone National Park set visitor record in 2010 with 3.6 million tourists. This is the highest number of annual visitors America's first national park, established back in 1872 got in its 138 years...
