Simple question with no words of wisdom or judgement.
In the early business years, 1950's - 1970's, it was part of job as DM... about 35,000+ miles per year.
After retirement, in the 1990's, down to 15,000/yr looking for a home, and enjoying different cities, campgrounds and beaches.
Been to 43 states, Japan, Canada and Mexico, marginally speak French, German, and Esperanto. but never had the urge to go more foreign countries... and now, travel to anywhere has no interest or fascination. Enjoy (vicariously) travel by books, TV, and the adventures of friends who share pictures and events.
But, now... being home at Woodhaven, Lake Griffin Harbor and here in Central Illinois, is my ideal for a happy retirement life
And so I wonder... what makes a person leave the comfort of their home and friends, to travel thousands of miles, often to an alien culture, or at the very least, to be with people who will never be seen again. No just to foreign lands, but even in the US... to go to cities or recreation areas that are basically clones of those that are nearby their own home.
A second question for the itinerant travelers. How long do you expect to be doing this? Some of our friends who are in their 90's think nothing of taking a trip to Branson or Vegas, or even Australia and Antarctica.
An amazing world.
