About the temps, I read that temperatures in November are mid 40s, which is comfortable for us. Definitely our spring and fall weather...especially if there's rain. We'd feel right at home.

This is all in the very preliminary planning stages right now, but we've always been talking about making a "real" trip somewhere, and I love the idea of seeing the Middle East. I always kind of wanted to visit Afghanistan, but I suspect that's not in the cards in this lifetime. Turkey seems like a pretty safe option.

Today we've been planning our trip to Southeast Alaska in the spring. We're going to drive to Haines and then take the ferries to Juneau and Sitka. It'll be nice to have the truck along so we won't have to rent a car. I'm so looking forward to going down there. I did that trip about 40 years ago but have only been to Southeast once since.
