SCTigerCock 171 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I am glad I went back to the OP. I was going to remind everyone what the commercials state, if it lasts more than 2 hours to see a Dr. But I did reread the OP. :banana: :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMonroe 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Time and distance are big factors for us. That is, available vacation time, and the 22 hours of drive time. But you all are making me feel like an amatuer! Up here coworkers and friends consider us nuts for having averaged a trip a year for the last 30 years, and some of you are there once per month!I'm sure if we lived within a couple hours, we'd be there several times per year too. :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brerroadrunner 8 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 We used to go for 2-3 weeks in summer and then 2-3 weeks at Christmas every year, but have slowed down a bit and are at once a year. And we are right at 1000 miles to FW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

campingpixi 11 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 For those of you who go several times a year don't be surprised if you have a 5 ft pixi holding on to your bumper just waiting to freeload!! Woo Hoo!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingdawgs 4 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 We've been going 4 - 6 times a year for the past 5 years. We don't have a camper right now (camping made the trips affordable) and the kids are wanting to do other trips, so we won't renew our APs this year :banana:. We will probably continue to go once a year as long as DD7 wants to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingdawgs 4 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Oh, I forgot to add....we are 7 hours away. But add a couple of hours for traffic if we hit Atlanta at the wrong time or have a flat tire (has happened 3 times on I-75 in South Ga). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 We used to go infrequently...the last few years 3-4 times per year. Usually Feb, May, late Sept and Nov or early Dec.We live 550 miles away and takes about 9 1/2 hours to drive...but we're retired so sometimes it takes a week or so to arrive :banana:However, after this year we will be rethinking our trips as the cost is starting to get too high...thinking that next year we might do a nice long trip out west and maybe visit the Western House of the Mouse.B-B-B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
