After the obvious notion that our age has slowed us down just a bit and we don’t have to be “doing” every minute of the day comes the rest of the stuff.

As I was making plans with a friend for a get together in Cleveland, he reminded me that Pesach (Passover) was that night – oops. I guess we will be enjoying that in a campground someplace. Someplace then became a question.  I had forgotten that we were entering the Northeast a land where camping is very seasonal and the season starts either April 15 or May 1. Most of the places near Cleveland that I tried do not open until May 1. The one that is opening April 15 has only 7 sites and is fully booked. 

There is no reason to stop in Cleveland if our friends are not available so we will move on to Erie PA. I don’t think we have ever stopped there. It is a KOA, not our preferred venue, but mid week while schools are open it seems safe. This puts us within a short day to Rochester if we choose to do that. 

After some more working with my trip planing software and the phone I have gotten way ahead of myself and have booked almost all the stops we need for the rest of the trip. I just added a side trip to Fallingwater, the FLWright house. Its only 176 miles out of the way. We have promised ourselves a stop there many times but never had the time. We just made the time.

Another thing I forgot. This planning takes time, especially booking reservations, something we seldom have done. Also I needed to debug the windshield and front of the coach after 2,000 of driving. 

Tomorrow We will join a bunch of Kansas City Cornellians for a Gangsta Tour of Kansas City. Our friends, the Lustigs, are both Cornellians and they invited us. Another thing I forgot, Look up Brown Clubs as we travel.
