We will travel with 51 other people from our area on a bus trip sponsored by the Coffee County Baptist Association. They take a couple of tours a year for their Senior population. When there's space left after they offer the tour to the Baptists, others can sign up to go.
We are going to spend 2 nights in Bergen, NJ and go to NYC for a broadway play one night, and tours during the day. Leaving out to go to Maine, we will stop and go up in the Empire State Building. I haven't been since 1953! There's so much planned for us to do each day. Will be returning via Lancaster, PA and spend a day in the Amish country and visit the Hershey Chocolate factory one day and get some samples.
Will return to Elba via Knoxville, TN.
Looking forward to seeing the pretty fall leaves in the White Mountains in Vermont and New Hampshire.
Jim and I don't have enough clothes for 15 days! We will be going to a meeting on Sept 13 to learn all the instructions, get itineraries, plus general info we need to know. And yes, we will need to use our new passports when going to Canada.
We have lots of friends who take bus tours all over the US and really enjoy doing this. I have reservations about riding a bus for 15 days.... I learned that the bus will stop every 2 hours for people to get up and walk about outside (all the travelers are our age or older).
I will have lots of photos to post when we return.
Recently I printed copies of my blog postings (Jul 2007-Jul 2010) and I had 450 pages. Printed on front and back there were 225 sheets of paper. I needed 1-1/2" plastic combs to bind all that paper. I made 5 copies for the granddaughters and 1 to keep. Too expensive to print all the photos in color, so many of them are b&w. Here is a photo of the front cover.
