Grand adventure! Fantastic! Multiday touring is a whole different beastie
than S24Os, that's for sure. We're doing a family destination
camping/running/biking trip next week, which is another way to go too.
Between locations I'll do an equivilant of a sag wagon day, then get picked
up after they do the museums (which I can't do anyway for my bludgeoned
brain) and go on to our next destination camp. A great way to travel with
people of highly varied capabilities (kids, in this case), as it has
something for everyone.
Are you glad you went?
With abandon,
Patrick
