Rocky Mountains - Cheyenne Frontiers Day - Training Trip for Fantasy RV Tours

Well - We started a new phase of  our lives together as retirees working for Fantasy RV Tours as "Tour Ambassadors"  -  or simply put Fantasy RV Caravan tail gunners and wagon masters.  Our new job is to ensure that others who love to travel as much as we do with their "rigs" have the best time and experience possible on their vacations with Fantasy RV Tours.

For this Post we have included pictures of our Training Trip from July- Aug 2013 - 29 Day Rocky Mountain - Cheyenne Frontier Days Tour!

ENJOY AS YOU TRAVEL ALONG WITH US!!!

We only had 22 meals included as part of the 29 day trip.  This
was the meal provided at  "Sanfords" in Cheyenne, Wyoming
If you want to loose weight on a RV trip
I don't know what to say as we starved for sure with meals like this!

So Joan - Time to trade our fifth wheel in for this new model??
