LaNell's one and only airplane trip was to Italy on her honeymoon. After her honeymoon, travel consisted of motorhome trips up and down the coast of California and all over Oregon. Crater Lake, Lake Powell and Avila Beach were some of her favorite places. There were several road trips with Glynette, Brandon and Quinton, and sister trips with Glynette and Genise. After Charlie's death she purchased her dream beach bungalow which she enjoyed sharing with family and her many friends!
