Can't say I'm a whole lot better.  Been receiving "government assistance" every month since I turned 70.  Beats workin'.... 😁

Pauly is lying to you. I still work. Unlimited vacation and my kid owns the company. So I pretty much do what I want.

Found a hotel near Rome NY that has everything you need right next door.

And yes, a casino across the street.

I was going to send you to a great restaurant in Bennington, Vermont but they closed last March. I haven't been there since 2019, really surprised it shut down. It was one of those places that you didn't mind at all paying a little extra for a great meal.

 

Have fun!

[Tonik]

Day two. Casino number two.

"Vulnerability is high in people with low incomes....."

I'm ok then. Plus I am up 150. Deb is up 300.

[Bubba]

Ah-ha!  So this is how you finance your hobbies and free time activities....BRILLIANT!!!

I never realized that all those lavish, high-dollar casinos made money by giving it away to their customers.  😉

Looks like another fun trip just like your last one. You guys have some great ideas for road trips.

Swung by the Saratoga horse track. Was bummed, some big horse race event today instead of regular racing. It was Kentucky Derby busy so we kept going.

Headed to Robert Lincolns summer home. That was cool.

Also got to feed the goats. These goats are actually direct descendents of the goats Robert had.

From there north on 7a, 7 and 100. Awesome roads, especially 100 north of Killington.

Along the way was a big horse event, the kind where they jump over stuff. Watched that for a bit.

Spending tonight in Montpellier.

Holy crap are the roads around Green Mountain good. No traffic at all.

[Tonik]

Lol @ the New Hampshire State Police and their parked cars with mannequins in them. Well played.

[Tonik]

Great day. 125, 73, 53 and the rest of 100. Staying in Concord NH tonight and heading back north in NH from here.

IRL Donkey Kong!!

Looks like a great trip

Beautiful area up there...I grew up 15min from where you were in Rome NY.

[Tonik]

Kancamagus Highway Rt 112. Very Cherahola Skyway like without any traffic. Very epic.

I swear they are repaving the entire state of Vermont at once. Two detours, one really short and one really long. The long one was an amazing road.

Staying in St Alban tonight. Tomorrow we cross over into fake France.
