What is your approach to travel? How do you plan your trips? We all do it differently. There is no
"right way". Some RVers prefer casual touring; others have a limited time frame. We all want to get
the most enjoyment while going down the road. These trip planning tools will help you plan your trip of
a lifetime. The overriding theme is that RV means Relaxing Vacation!
Planning the trip. This article, The Art of Planning Your Most Memorable Trip, appeared in Family
Motor Coaching magazine. It describes our approach to the trip planning process.
Where to go, Places to see... Terse descriptions of hundreds of places of historic or scenic interest
in the US and Canada are described in the order in which travelers will visit them.
Battleships, carriers, submarines & more... Links to some former US Navy ships that are open to
visitors. A map helps you locate the ships that you will see along your planned route.
Other information resources
- Local people. This heads up the list for a reason. Folks you meet along the way may
recommend a place or event that will be a long lasting memory. Maybe they'll suggest an eatery
that's a local favorite, a fish fry at the village fire house, a pow-wow, a scenic view point, word of
an iceberg that just grounded off a nearby beach, or... who knows. Maybe they'll give you a fresh
insight -- like how things were when they were growing up. - Library. We use several publications to plan our trips and some we use as we travel
- Tourist Bureaus
- State Tourist Bureaus Click the map to reach the official tourist bureau
- Provincial Tourist Bureaus Click the map to reach the official tourist bureau
- Websites. A sampling of sites we used to plan our trips and some we refer to as we travel.
Also a few we wish we learned of before we visited an area. Includes some sites of special
interest to RVers. Includes some "blogs" which may give you some input.
