I retired five years ago, DW retired at the end of 2014. During those five years I have spent about 600 nights camping. It occasionally gets a little lonely but for the most part I have enjoyed it and DW who was the CEO of her company and worked long hours didn't mind. Since she has retired I have curtailed my travels but plan to resume traveling next year. I like to camp host and volunteer, something she isn't interested in. She does plan to spend some time traveling with me in the future but probably not for long stints. It works for us but may not be for everyone. In the course of our 46+ years together we have been apart about six years for military and jobs related issues so we knew what to expect.
