Kristi, thanks for the tip! We were thinking maybe hit Cedar Point right after school goes back into session in September, hopefully less kids and crowds then. We’ll try to plan in advance though…

It’s a never-ending pursuit.

When you make it back to the east coast and you think about doing Cedar Point, make sure you plan. They stay booked far in advance of most of the summer.

Can’t wait to see where 2015 takes you.

Jonathan, I’m glad the blog’s been helpful to you, although it sounds like we’re just causing you to spend more money! ;-) I think you’ll find that the 5-Star Tune makes a big difference, but once you get used to it, you still realize the Ford struggles occasionally. Still, we love the coach and the Ford engine/chassis so far. Although my brother and sister-in-law live on Long Island (hi!) we’re pretty sure there’s no way we’re driving Rover back onto the Island… it was just a bit too traumatic. We will likely be passing through eastern PA in the fall of 2015. I’d love to see the Smart Tiles… we really want to spruce up the interior and get rid of some of the brown/beige everywhere! -Mike

Thanks for taking your time and recapitulating all of last years events with links to each blog. I have been following your travels since July and tonight I just read all of your earlier stories.

So far to date I have changed all of my 36LA faucets because of you detailing your efforts doing the same. My wife thanks you but it does make it more eloquent let alone more functional than the stock faucets.

I just started adding glass tile backsplashes to all the sink areas and I will send photos once complete for you. This item is a standard feature for the Phaeton and above.

I also will be receiving my X4 (again because of your experience) with 5 Star Tuning (http://www.5startuning.com/product/ford-6-8l-v10-rv-motor-home-only-x4-power-flash-device/ ) to help assist with the shifting pattern (damn Ford) that you and I are blessed with. I always suspected the tranny was missing a gear while up-shifting, but 5 Star confirmed that indeed Ford’s stock strategy does just that. Hence the long, long windup. Well, I hope that will be a thing of the past after I load the new strategy. Tomorrow it will be delivered!

Tonight thanks to your blog I learned about (https://dogvacay.com/). We too are animal lovers and we are very guarded about who Zoe (our Standard Poodle) can stay with. This site will hopefully solve that concern.

And lastly, my wife thanks both of you for trying to keep on a budget and linking us up with http://www.youneedabudget.com/features . Well she more than me…. I love to spend.

Good luck on the next leg. Enjoy, and if you are going to loop through LI, NY or get somewhere close to the area give me a holler, we would love to meet you both!

Thanks! The photo of Opie is a bit over the top, but what can I say, these dogs live the good life!
