I will be retiring this August and my wife has decided that she would like to see some of the United States. This will be our first long extended trip. Most of our trips have been within 200 miles of...

Congratulations on your retirement! What a trip you have planned! We started RVing in 2010 when my husband retired. On our first long trip, I (not we) tried to plan everything down to the minute...quickly learned to throw plans out the window. We knew where we wanted to end up, when we wanted to be home and anything in between was a surprise. One day we drove 50 miles because we found something interesting and stopped ... for a few days. Its an adventure and thats how we like it. We are planning an extended trip this year and will only make reservations to our first destination in Colorado, from then on, its really not planned (time wise).
Now, to answer your wifes concern...well, does she have a hobby? Read? Is she a good navigator? Trip planner? Seems like I always have something to do during our travels, especially looking for interesting places on the internet/forum. Do you travel with internet access like a Sprint hotspot or other wifi? Do you take turns driving? But most importantly...do you have a good nap pillow?
I too, always search RVPARKREVIEWS.COM every time we plan a overnight or extended stay. We are retired military and often stay at military famcamps when we can.
We were in Charleston, SC last week. Don't forget this hotspot for Civil War history too...Fort Sumter is where the first shot rang out that started the war...BTW, its worth the boat ride to the Fort...had a great time.
Keep in touch with this forum on your travels...there is always someone that has been where you're going and has some good insight to the area.
If you're a foody...look on the Diners,Drive ins and Dives website for local food in areas your in. We have run into many travelers that do this...and we have on several occasions and its always been fun..and flavorful!
Enjoy your retirement and your adventures...keep us posted
