Day 73 Sun Mar 25 Temp at PIR - 3PM 84F (29C), 9PM 70 F (21C)

Our last day at the Rally. In for the 9 AM seminar on RV touring NZ & Australia. It is 51 days with an available add-on of 12 more days to do the outback & Ayers Rock, and another 4 day add-on to do a Fiji stop for 4 days on route to LA. A total of 67 days, most of them in a rental RV--no buses, no taking luggage in & out of hotels. We’d love to do it. Unfortunately, it’s very expensive. Including all airfare & RV rentals etc. it’d be approx. $38,000 for both of us!
Then back into history at another seminar by Dakota Livesay on what an 1860’s cattle drive from Texas to Dodge City Kansas was like. Also, what the cowboy life was like, how he dresses--the purpose of all his articles of clothing. It was a fascinating hour & a half. Then we had lunch and did a quick last check of the exhibit hall before going to the Day Stage for the “Jay & Tammy Ro” show. They play guitar & sing, and are very good, very enjoyable. Finally, at 3PM we returned to the RV for supper before tonight’s concert – “Ticket to Ride” a Beatles “live in Concert” show. They put on a great show. Before the show started, the M.C. made an announcement that there were 3,370 RV’s attending the show, which means over 6,500 people were here for the 4 days. They also had day passes for local people to just come out for a day, so we probably had close to 7,000 some days. A little cooler this evening with the wind picking up although it is a nice warm wind.

  1. How do people afford to do trips like that if they are so expensive??
