Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

The Nightmare in Kansas

kansasI didn’t think anything would be worse than that place in Terre Haute. Oakley, KS wins hands down! It is nothing but a patch of prairie with water, electric and sewer hook-ups. Across the street is the home of the “world’s largest prairie dog”. We pass on that one. I do find the cow migration back to the barn at dusk interesting. A bad storm rolls in. But that is quite okay because we're locking ourselves in tonight anyway! We are out of here at dawn.
