I'm seeing how it would feel to be semi retired. Booked a site in a canal campground for nearly a month. Should be able to find a fish or two in that amount of time.
As to the spouse thing, I'm pretty lucky there. Mine likes to fish and camp, so she understands even when I leave her behind. You have to compromise though, hard to stay together if you're never together. But that doesn't mean you can't both do things on your own either.
