Reply to: Road Trip USA after being benched

[snaw]

When I was in my early 30s I wanted to do a package trip around South America, but was warned that it would be full of OAPs, so didn't do it.

I now regret that decision. Even if don't much like wherever you end up, at least you've done it and have the memories.

Eh?

I was talking about RV'ing across the US, not South America. I've spent 9 months travelling Latin America, don't remember too may OAP's ...

Sure lockhouse can correct me, but I got some close friends who did the same roadtrip in the US - and couldn't handle hanging out with OAP's any more after 2 months solid of it ...

Carefull what you do with the GF, the grass is always greener until you decide you want some company again - [b]in my experience good ones are not found, they have to find you.[/b[

So true!

Wise words indeed!

Don't remember a girlfriend though

And I have an older brother planning on doing it in a few weeks. Him, his new girlfriend and a Harley.

Jammy bugger.

A couple of friends of mine did the historic Route 66 trip from Chicago to L.A. last year on Harleys .... said it was the best holiday they ever did.

Never mind the hair, have you got the gut for it?

Most Harley bikers I seen in the USA were guys in their 50's with a big gut! Frightening sight really

I also would recommend South America - especially Ecuador - and I do agree the girls are more friendly as are the boys if you are that way inclined.
In fact you'll probably have to fight off the boys as they love caucasian guys.
