I'm absolutely coming to visit you! We have a "date" remember? Just "tri-ing" wait for you to give me the word...

Whew, I was getting worried. As soon as I can bike and you can run, we are set.

That I'm not worried about. We can do it. It's the sinking like a rock that gives me the shivers. Do they let ya use water wingies in a Tri?

OK, X, I know you said you prefer to vacation independently, but let me just put in a little plug for Womantours anyway, and you can make what you want of it.
Other than a three-day, based-out-of-one-B&B bike trip that DH and I did in Vermont when we were younger and stronger and possibly not very bright, I'm new to the bicycle touring, and I'm totally new to bicycle touring on my own. So last spring, I took a 4-day with Womantours on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Rather than bore the whole present company with the details, I direct you to my blog entry on the tour experience, which I personally dubbed my "Tour de Chesapeake" and was generally wonderful:
Tour de Chesapeake
WT is not cheap, but everything is taken care of for you--route planning, booking of lodgings, restaurant choices and al fresco lunches en route, baggage transport, sag support, and even a rental bike if you need it. On my tour, the guides even offered "happy hour" beverages and snacks every afternoon when the ride for the day was over. And the guides themselves were each a remarkable combination of bike mechanic, tour guide, cheering team, and biking buddy--they were simply superb.
Anyway, the upshot is that I just reserved a space on the WT Meandering Mississippi Tour (segment I--I don't have the time, money, or stamina to do the whole thing) for next May. I've got a lot of training to do between now and then, and I can't wait.
