Oh, what a great Thread!!

So many dreams and so short on money...

Well, Ok... Dream Trip 1:

I would love to do the trip again, that I did with my parents as a ten year old boy. We traveled from Newport News, VA. across the US to San Francisco and San Diego and all the way back. I would take the 14' Shasta we had at that time, but with a nice shiny Airstream it would be perfect.

Dream Trip 2: To travel around most of the US and Canadien Skiresorts in the Winter...

Dream Trip 3: My wife and I would love to ride the Trans-Americana all the way down from Alaska to Fireland, Chile... We would skip Columbia due to the high risk getting killed, but the rest should be ok...

Dream (reality) Trip 4: We want and will travel to the North Cape in Norway, its a better trip for a Moho, but we will take the adventure to do it with our Airstream.

Ok, enough dream trips for the next years and shurely more dreams to come. Hopefully we´ll have the right numbers in the lottery this weekend.

Take C'Air

This is really turning into a fun thread. I see people that would like to share my dream trip. Maybe a caravan will result from this. Maybe more than one.

Still thinking of sea food!!!

Doing the famous Route 66 with my complete rig ( F150 + Harley +AIrstream ) but that is impossible ... May be one day If I buy another AS that 'ld stay in USA, as my second house, and spent 3 monthes ( legally 90 days , I think ) as visitor from France. The Pick-up & the HD in renting.

Why not...

Bruno.

I lived on the East Coast for nearly 20 years of my life and I found that every 100 miles, the cuisine is different. In New York and New Jersey its Manhatton Clam Chowder and lots of clams. In Maryland its Blue Crabs both soft-shelled and hard-shelled, steamed, fried, oh I'm driving myself crazy. I never should have moved back here on the Great Plains!! I miss the oysters and all the other sea food.

Don't forget to stop for stuffed quahogs and clamcakes in Rhode Island! http://www.quahog.org/ Yum, yum!

Ok, so that trip wasn´t on my dream-trip list, but I´ll join in. Only problem is, that I have to leave my wife at home, as she doesn´t like any seafood...

I think, if we have the right numbers this weekend we´ll buy a trailer and a TV that will stay in the US and that we can use everytime we are overseas.

Ohh, Tin Hut -- you make me laugh! Warn: (40%!!!)

Coop -- check into softshell crabs 'round about the Chesapeake area!

I would love to do a 4 corners trip around the US. With a zig zag to see family and other destinations, especially in the East. I have been to many of the Western states, with and without Airstream. The US has so many places I want to see, that I'd probably run out of lifetime before seeing them all. So, my dream trip with the Airstream would involve mostly US destinations.

Chicago. That to me is the dream trip.

To run the outer most road around North America. Figure it's a two year trip. No sure about the Mexico and south part.

Right now it would be Tucson to Key West, then up to New York.

From MN, I'd seriously consider a trip to Yellowstone and then head south all the way down to and through New Mexico. I think I could have spent 2 months from point a to b if I had the time.

When I do get to Long Island, I will call you and I will buy the Crab Cakes.

Actually, Mn to New Mexico is next on my dream trip list. We both like Southwestern food. Spice is GOOD!!

Interesting timing considering what I am about to do. Quitting the job, end for Feb and taking a year to travel where ever the wife, dog and I want. Our plan is to head to S. America (Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador), 50 days. Then we will come back be in the States for a month not sure where, have a few things that have to happen in May. Next Europe for 6 weeks. Then we get in the Airstream and head up to Alaska, across southern Canada/Norhern US, up to Nova Scotia down the East Coast and back accross the US.

Davydd · 02-09-2006, 11:57 AM

Then you must go to Machu Picchu. It is an amazing place. No way can you get there by Airstream.

The only way in is to hike three days from Cusco or take a train in. We were there in August.

Another Dream Trip would be if WBCCI or some group had a caravan down on the Pan American Highway. Davydd: Great photos of your Machu Picchu trip. I was there in ’68- -before the Shining Path guys came along.
