Ahh, "camping" at a suite at a good hotel...another interesting variation of RV'ing. You don't seem like a happy camper. Why not? You appear to be well cared for and are given sufficient toys to keep you busy. Health issues aside, you should be thankful. Green eyed monster crawling up his back. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Unless living in airplanes and hotel rooms doesn't appeal to you. Beautiful scenery and a dark sky make for excellent eclipse viewing. Living 350 miles from the Florida border and more like 600 from anywhere I might want to go makes that plane start looking good. |

There were broken clouds, but we still managed to see it. No RV needed. |
