    That's the plan.

    We are a bit old now to just do the camp all the way thing, and it's nice to grab a motel room for a good sleep and a hot shower but we are certainly looking for a retro sort of trip, just hanging out and doing whatever we feel like without following a schedule.

    It might take a week, might take 2 or more to get there (and back).

    Don't know and don't care......

    Yeah. I did exactly the same thing on this side of the World mate. Life was simple in those days, but I'm not letting the chance to (sort of) relive it slip away.

    Times have changed and the World is a very different place now, but everyone that has a panel van has the chance to experience what it was like to some extent if they want.

    .... and it's about 37 years for me!...

    Cool.

    You know the slogan "it's not the destination, it's the journey"? It really is true.

    All my life I've had goals. Most I've achieved, some I've just missed out on. But the "journey" and the fact that I believed the goals were achievable was really the fun part.

    No, that's true. And you definitely need to have your priorities in order (& it seems you have).

    My wife and I have no children and no longer have a mortgage, so we are able to throttle-back a bit on the required income. We've done the hard yards and can now reap the rewards so that's why I'm taking advantage of the situation and doing the road trip. It still depends on how my shoulder is after the surgery, but it should be the right time for a bit of rest and recovery.
