Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2696359, member: 591"] Traveling around the country to WBB games ended. Also frequent lighthouse visitations. We started following RU in 1995 and, until we moved in 2011, we made a lot of away games (and almost never missed a home game). A couple of years, we made every game. Beginning around 2006 / 2007 or so, we started traveling and touring lighthouses, mostly along the east coast and some on the Great Lakes. I was blessed with my job as an auditor with Loews Theatres that I could (sometimes) coordinate business trips with games. Of course the oBE was (mostly) not too far away from New Jersey and my boss - and my wife's - was very flexible with how we took our vacation time. And the annual major away trip (not destination tourneys, which we never did) could be my vacation. Then, in 2005, Loews was taken over by AMC and for the rest of our time in NJ, I was more or less (early) retired, although a few years later I stopped being willing to fly (we mostly drove anyhow). Once we moved to Arizona, the practicality of all this was curtailed. We went to one RU home game the next season and were among the few fans at the WNIT win in El Paso 5 years ago. We have yet to go to an Arizona away game (except in Phoenix). Lighthouses? Well, yes, we have seen some, but some years none, some years a few, and just 2 trips (Wisconsin and Oregon) that we saw quite a few. I would say these were the 2 big changes, both primarily due to relocating, although if the wife's health was better we might do more. But, no way what we were doing in NJ. [/QUOTE]
