Hey, East or West, DO NOT forget about North. If you look at Framily postings, there has been almost unanimity in positive comments about all RV trips to Canada. As for snowbirding, ask us in 6 months. Being easterners, we have spent our time up & down the east, but we head west this year. My guess is that Bernie hit it right on when he says that it is nice but different, and that's exactly what we are looking for. Heck, if we didn't want to see differences, we would sell the motor home and just stay put in our stick home.
BTW, don't undersell Acadia National Park, the White Mountains or Hot Springs AK. They may not have the grandeur of a Grand Canyon, but they do offer their own unique charm and beauty. Besides, where else can you see a real desert,and a rain forest adjacent to the ocean.
