Sounds like a great plan to me!

We're both retired as we spend a lot of time around the house. It'll be a nice break.

that had no plumbing or electricity, had to pee in the woods and bathe in a cold lake. Did. Not. Like. I didn't drink on these trips but maybe I'd have liked them better if I had. Still, you're better off staying home, enjoying the indoor plumbing and electric lights, eating some delicious fried food and not drinking.

understood the camping thing. Why should I go out in the woods with critters and bugs sharing my space and still have to cook, cleanup, and swat flies. I can cook and cleanup in my own home and not have to swat flies. A picnic in the park is my limit.

when it comes to cooking, bathing, bathroom needs and sleeping, I want at least a basic motel room. I remember camping in Glacier Park and it rained and the tent leaked and my sleeping bag got wet and I knew there were bears out there. Never again.

sounds like a childhood memory that I have of a camping trip we did. I like camping, and I have done many in the rain, but I camp with my sister who was a scout leader, so she knows how to set up a good dry camp. Each to their own, I totally get wanting comfort with some of the basics. As you age, I think your needs change. Camping can become more of a chore than a fun experience.

My wife spends a coupe days preparing for the weekend. And at the end, 1/2 the day on Sunday when she gets back. What a pain in the neck!

I do miss sipping wine and sitting around the campfire telling stories. But it sure isn't the same without booze.

that's the best part for me.

While hubby and kids enjoy nooooo.

My idea of camping is a hotel with room service.
