I am thinking, making a rather sturdy plan to travel around the USA in 2012 in a small mini-van unless I suddenly become rich, then I would use a small RV. But the gas is at 3.50 per gallon, so a killer. I want the shower of an RV, but do not like the idea of parking, the bigger the vehicle, the harder to hide in plain site.

I truly do not like cold weather, so if I was to wander around the USA, I would need to start in the Southern USA States and squiggle my way around the bottom.

Because I do not care about time, I would wiggle around in the states above, mostly trying to avoid cold weather, but it would be nice to hit Florida during Spring Break time or South Padre Island in Texas.

Do the middle USA States as the weather became better, my parents are in Indiana, so I would sort of start this trip there, or wherever I can buy a cheap Van.

I could go up to Alaska, then fly to Hawaii, then over to Thailand to say goodbye.

Hi Andy. Looks like a plan. You can bunk aboard my boat in Los Angeles and we can do some day sailing around the harbor. We can do a little touring together if you like. I will be foot loose and fancy free.
