Planning to get out there and go somewhere

My dad and I was talking about taking a trip around the state next year. We had wanted to do that this year, however, with the chaos of people saying that he had to make a pilgrimage down to the lower 48 and then the chaos and expense that he went through getting back a car he had thought he had loaned out, we just don't have the time or money to get that done this year. What is left of the travel money has got to go toward trying to fix the problems we have with the house heater before winter sets in. I just have to conjure up enough money to offset the difference.

Next year we are going to go see the things he wants to see though. He wants to travel down to Hope and said that he really wants to go see Chicken still. I'd like to go back down to Seward and take dad up to see the Petersville area. We also want to get some time in on the lakes with his boat and maybe do a bit of camping out, but for that we need to figure out getting another motorhome. He still misses the one him and mom had picked up when he had his stroke, but mom was unable to keep that one when she was told she had to pay it off in full with one bulk payment rather than take over the payments or pay it off in three payments. She'd had her eye on one in the area, though, that I want to look into if it is still for sale and maybe get that one for my dad at dividend time. Then me and him can spend the winter getting it ready for spring, pick up some rv towing and see what a park pass like the one him and mom had a few years ago would cost us and just get the hell out and enjoy the summer - relatives be damned. lol

Shoo, might even get out and enjoy the winter some as well. I got a full set of studded tires for the Caddie. Me and him could look into what a weekend at one of the local lodges would cost and just go out and spend a weekend watching skiers fall on their tailbones from the warmth of a lodge lounge. I'll need to think on that one some, it might be a good option to combating winter dreariness.
