October Roadtrip
Hi All
Looking for ideas for a road trip from October 1st-11th 2026, leaving from North Central Kentucky. My husband is turning 40 and I am looking for something new and fun to kick off this new decade for him. I am open to renting a camper van/small RV but we will also be bringing our large elderly dog with us and we would never leave her alone in a camper; typically we pick a location or two and rent dog friendly air bnbs. I am thinking this may be what we have to do again but a good road trip to a great destination would be nice.
I am considering the UP but didn't know how friendly this would be to an elderly dog. Cities like Chicago, Boston and New York are out because of our dog. Also considering Maine but know very little about the area. We enjoy mild to moderate hiking, waterfalls, arts, are big foodies(love a good local coffee and breakfast spot) catching a good comedy show, trying new things, and traveling with our dog. If it makes any difference, we are both large and tall people so things like kayaking(without accommodations) would be difficult.
Much appreciation for any ideas or input!
