A few years ago there was a guy local to me (Maryland) who's wife and step daughter took off in '71 Corvair powered Westy, they did 10,000 miles over the summer. That summer I couldn't wait to get to work in the mornings and read their latest postings on where the were. An even bigger thrill was to come later when I actually met these folks and got to drive the '71 with 110 hp. Again, sadly, my wife of almost 30 years has absolutely NO desire to camp in the Westy even one night. When we first met we used to go camping all the time, she is now more the hotel/room service type, I'd still love to go camping. Two places I dream of camping in my Westy:the Florida Keys, and Oak Creek Canyon above Sedona, Arizona, the two most beautiful spots on earth IMHO. <SIGH> Maybe someday....

Give the wife a cruise so she can happily pass the time while you camp
in the Keys?

There's always a solution, and usually it's "more money" :).
