Home Sweet Home

31 days on the road and we are back home. This was a great trip where we saw a lot of friends and family. We want to thank everyone for your gracious hospitality by opening up your homes and property allowing us to have nice visits.
Traveling by motorhome was a good experience for us and gave us a lot of flexibility and comfort. Some of the statistics are as follows: travel expenses which includes fuel, lodging fees, food both ate in the motorhome and food ate in restaurants was $3,074 for a per day average of $99.19. There was other money spent on incidentals not related to travel expenses. We traveled 4,279 miles and spent $2,565 on 754.73 gallons of gasoline at an average of $3.40 per gallon. The motorhome averaged 5.46 mpg. I pulled my Jeep and after several days getting use to the road I pretty much drove the full speed limit which on the Interstate was 75 mph. So with a less heavy foot and not towing it should get better mileage but that wasn't how it was on this trip. Our food came to $250.38. This low cost was do to the hospitality of everyone letting us put our feet under their dinner table. Total camp fees was $258.60 and again was because everyone allowed us to park in their driveways or, as in Joel and Connie's case, their river property.
We don't know what our next big trip will be or if we will drive the motorhome or not but this one is over and it was very pleasurable.
Again thanks to everyone who joined us both on the road and here on the blog.
