I'm sorry your trip was messed up. I do hope sometime you manage to come hawk watching in September. You know you'll have a place to stay!
As for new places and ideas: we may go to some new places, but haven't decided yet. I'm hoping for more in-depth exploration of the areas we visit, combined with exploring the bodacious cookbook collection I've acquired... and working out ways to adapt recipes to our weather conditions. The foodstuffs on board are a hodgepodge of items we always stock (canned tuna, Zatarain's boxed rices, cheeses, and so on) and impulse buys that looked interesting and haven't been explored yet. I could probably cook through the stock, without buying anything other than fresh vegetables and dairy, for most of the trip. So far that realization has curtailed my impulse buys. The discipline probably won't last.
Thank you so much, Nancy. Sorry I missed you a few years ago ......
Have you checked out Stillwater, OK; Ft. Huachuca, AZ; Texarkana, TX/AK; Corpus Christi, TX; Lake Havasu, AZ; Pawhuska, OK................
Next year HMANA opens our headquarters in Detroit ...... anyone in MI send me ideas ....... can't wait to get back to the Midwest area.
