Fall is a beautiful time to go. If you want to see what we did, check out our blog for October, 2016. We also enjoyed time in Charleston, South Carolina in March of this year. One of my favorite cities ever. We found a walking tour on Groupon that was excellent.

We love exploring the USA as well but while the dollar is high it isn't so feasible for us right now for long term travel, plus the weather isn't always guaranteed to warm/hot whereas it is almost guaranteed in Mexico.<br /><br />Here is a map of the proposed route which could change slightly as they company tweaks it.

We have been there before with the RV right around New Year's back in the winter of 2008/2009. To be honest Cancun isn't high on our list for seeing the best of Mexico, it does have something to offer but for us there are far better places to visit in Mexico.<br /><br />I guess you must not have been looking in the right area for the local, non-tourist market in Cancun because there is a nice one there, a little more pricey than some we have been too though. <a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2014/03/lost-in-cancun.html" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2014/03/lost-in-cancun.html</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82998675553435697572017-04-27T10:18:13.651-04:002017-04-27T10:18:13.651-04:00Congratulations on the getting ready to full time,...Congratulations on the getting ready to full time, what an exciting time for you!

The area around Lexington Virginia has infestations of stink bugs...you might want to google this...and they are almost impossible to get rid off. We used an exterminator in New Mexico and he did not get them all. We left the trailer in Phoenix over the winter and the climate there finally killed them off. They don't bit or anything like that...just a darn nuisense. Just thought the info might save you some trouble later.
