Male travel partnerl

Why can't you share - both go camping together but feel free to do your own things? You can go to the ballgame and the next day she can go to the craft fair. Just because you came together doesn't mean you have to do everything together. Do you really need someone to go places with you? We aren't glued together and go our separate ways often. Everyone has their own interests.

Hey Kit Carson - visited your museum in Taos, NM the other day ;-)

OP - I don't see anything wrong with guys trips and gal trips. Never even considered that it wasn't a usual thing to do. Our friends - the guy goes on hunting trips with the buds all the time. She will go on excursions with her gal friends for "gals weekends". Of course they go on trips as a couple too. DH and I do separate trips every once in a while. Go for it.

hehehehehehehe!!!!

There are numerous reputable single RV clubs. Loners on Wheels, etc. Just google Good Sam, Escapees, etc. they all have different chapters for different types of RV'ing clubs for singles listed in their index with phone numbers, web sites.

I'm sure you will find some real good traveling partners. There are a lot of widows out there that would greatly appreciate someone to RV with them to go fishing, sport events etc. Good Luck.

Makes more sense just to force your wife to do only the stuff you like. :)

As you've pointed out, you're both retired and have, so far, traveled together and both made concessions to the other's interests. I know this might be a weird idea, but why don't you go do things that you want to do by yourself. No more compromises, just do what you want to do.
I travel by myself all the time, and the freedom to do what I want, when I want and where I want is precious to me. When I traveled for work, I learned to hate hotel rooms and eating by myself in restaurants. With the RV, you can go where you want, eat what you like, when you like and do what you like. I'd bet that there are a few places that you've always wanted to visit but held no interest for your wife. At least try it once. If you don't like it, you can still find a friend to travel with.

Seems like it might make more sense to join one of the RV clubs, and then you could go on a trip with one of the guys, while your wife would have the spouse to hang out with, or others from the group.

If it works for you, more power to you. I wouldn't be happy with that arrangement, but that's me. We all have different ideas about what makes us happy.

I can't walk a lot. We have friends that we used to camp with. It worked out well, as she has limitations, the same as I do and we both played out about the same time.

Our DH's would wander about a car show for a while, and my friend and I went in a few shops and found a bench to rest on when we got played out.

That worked out nicely for the 4 of us.

how about a couple to travel with? the guys go off on adventures and the gals go off. we have done that in the past with a few different couples/families.

If all of you are comfortable with that arrangement, why not? Absence makes the heart grow fonder so-to-speak. My only concern would be is if you can't agree on how much time apart.
