“Man… you guys do keep on the move. Even your “light” travel schedule would knock a lot of other folks to their knees.” –
Jeff C in an email exchange discussing 2025 travel plans
2024 was a good year. In fact, 2024 was a very good year for Tom & Kathy. Everyone stayed (mostly) healthy, there were no major catastrophes, we spent time with friends and family, and we traveled. Boy did we travel!
- We started off the year with a 4700 mile road trip that took us to Texas and across the gulf coast to Florida that included three cruises and lots of sightseeing along the way.
- We headed to Ohio in April for the Total Eclipse.
- In May and June we made the 5600 mile round trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
- In July we made a 3800 mile loop of PA, OH, MI, WI, KY.
- In October we left the car at home for a 6+ week trip to Portugal & Spain.
- And we managed to make a few other short jaunts to the NC mountains and beyond.
- Miles: 20,441
- Photos: 18,975 (How many keepers…I don’t know yet! 😉 )
- Kathy considers a good travel year to be 100 nights away from home. This year: 153
I haven’t finished processing our Spain photos, although it doesn’t matter much. It’s nearly impossible to filter just 24 favorites out of 18,000!
How do you choose just one Yellowstone/Grand Teton photo? You don’t. You choose 6. That was tough enough!
