MarylneB: That is unusual!

Gabymac: What would you like to do that would be comfortable for you?

Answer 1

I pick 2 because it has my little bed following right behind me !!! Plus if I was traveling alone I wouldn't have to go back if I didn't want to !!!!

Answer 2

Let me tell you first which I would not do. I have no desire to travel anywhere on a schedule or with a group.
I am disabled and cannot drive now because of a neurological injury to my spine so it would take more than money for me to do either. Now I wouldn't want a trike because I rode a Harley all my life. And I had a large camper which we took wherever the fishing was good. So I'd have to say both of those would be great. I think I'd have to settle for camping now because I love the back roads and campfires and I liked having my bed inside when the rains came. I've been nearly beaten to death on the Harley from the rain. Ahh, but what pleasant memories I have from all those times that now have to be just memories.

Answer 3

All three my husband and I retired and we have been doing the first two. Waiting on Europe till am feeling better.My husband and I both have Harley's. I ride a 57 pan for almost.For almost 30 years the bikes sat more than we rode.We love to ride and ride in the rain also.The first time we rode together it was raining.(1971) Now that the children are mostly grown we ride more then we drive. We take are bikes more then the Van or his Lancer.We bought a used truck about a year ago.... Last year I was looking in the paper in the freebies and found a camper for my used truck. It is nice with a stove, a place to sleep.We been doing some traveling in it....It nice to have to go in the camper. We can take are dogs and the clean sheets are mine!

Answer 4

I would do each of those in different years. My preferance would be to see Europe and go on a tour. Europe is a gorgeous area with tremendous culture. You can read about it and watch movies, but when you are at the Louve in Paris looking at the Monet Lisa, Scotland (lovely scenery, very nice people). English folk can be reserved but most have a really big heart.

Personally I first traveled to other countries and then I explored the United States. As much as I loved europe, I still wanted to come home after 6 weeks.

Answer 5

I'd love to buy the motorcycle and cruise around the country. Why?

1) I've never seen all of this great country we live in.
2) I'm a terrible camper - my idea of roughing it is when we run out of ice. (I'm assuming here that me and my posse get to stay in hotels while on our trikes!)
3) I'm not great with schedules. I'd rather fly by the seat of my pants, doing what I want when I want.

Thanks for asking! I think I now have a new goal!

Answer 6

No motorcycles, thank you. I have spent enough time outdoors in my life working. Why would I want to travel there too?

Group tours on schedules are not for me either. I prefer setting my own pace and choosing the places to look at more closely.

I guess that leaves the truck (Is a Blazer close enough?) and camper, which I just got this year. I can travel at my own speed and stop where and when I want, even in relatives' driveways.

Answer 7

Even at my age I'd have to pick #1-already did the other 2 and a motor home is as much work as housekeeping so no thanks-toured 5 countries in Europe in the 70's and we hit the hottest season on record in all 5 and they never served ice water but we loved all the countries.Switzerland landscape my favorite-love Mt's. we live in the flattest section of the state which is boring but great for farming when we farmed.
What is weird about a motorcycle, on one of my dates, the guy drove me from my town to the one I now live in , (on his motorcycle)-never realizing I would one day marry a farmer and retire to this town! Weird.

Answer 8

All three! One right after the other!! I have even picked out my Purple Trike-a Honda 1800 Spyder-You can see it here: http://www.badboyscustom.com/honda/1800-spyder.htm
Just waiting until I graduate from college (I'm 52) in a year and then I am off!! I spent 30+ years with someone who refused to go anywhere. I am ready for some La Vida Loca!!!

Answer 9

I'd buy the motorcycle and cruise around the country. I've loved motorcycles since I was young and it would be an easy way to travel and explore places. If I had the money I'd also stay in hotels during my trip, that would be a lot of fun.

Answer 10

Too hard....now that I've seen some of Europe, I'd love to go back and see it all!. NO schedules though....I'm not disciplined enough and just want to see and do things at my own leisure.

But, I also want to see the states and love the camper idea. Been pretty much up and down the east coast...plus to Montana and New Mexico...so that leaves a lot of places that I haven't seen yet.

Can't we have two choices....please?? lol!

Answer 11

I would do a little bit of #1 and #3 but not on a schedule. I would love to go to Florence and to The Louvre to see the art. I would also like to take a cruise to Alaska in hopes of seeing the Northern Lights. My hubby wants to take me to Vegas. So that would have to be on the list. I am definitely not into camping.
