It looks like our trip to Italy/Croatia and the Windstar cruise in a few months is not going to happen. AGAIN! We first booked it about three years ago, and this will be the second time it’s been canceled. VERY frustrating! 

 

I don’t want to steer this in any direction by saying where we’ve been previously because I’m open to all options, but generally want to see new places. I just don’t want to have to deal with borders and getting stranded anywhere due to Covid. I will say, we like fairly nice accommodations and are not camping type people. I’m curious about any great cities, parks and/or resorts. Our son’s honeymoon had to go to Plan B as they couldn’t make Italy work either. They had a great time in a location I’ll withhold for now. 

 

Where have you been that you really enjoyed? I’m curious to hear all your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

You poor, poor dear. Domestic 😱

On our way from Laughlin, NV to Oatman, AZ, we looked on Google Maps for the best way to get there. There were two routes that where the same time to get there, but one was way shorter. So my wife and I said lets take the shorter route. The shorter route was an unmaintained dirt road.

 

Sometimes those unmaintained dirt roads are more fun than the traditional asphalt covered roads.

Lake Tahoe is a place I’d really love to see. Those Pro-Celebrity golf tournaments from there make it look AMAZING!  Do they have much to do besides look at the beautiful lake and mountains?

We traveled at the height of the pandemic. Solvang shut down Main Street and allowed restaurants to set up outdoor eating areas on the street.

That sounds great, but I’d be afraid I’d get 90% of the way there then hit an unpassable stretch and have to turn around!

There's a few small villages on the lake, mostly in California with great small restaurants. South Lake Tahoe, NV has full fledged casino's and entertainment. There's a ski lift that takes you from the casino's right to the slopes.
