It was amazing, so relaxing and refreshing. It was us and two other couples only 15 miles from a town but totally isolated in our own right. A "chef" that kept us well feed, hiking, fishing and just being alone with each other. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days we take the Winnebago with it all, but seldom use any of the fancy stuff like satellite or TV....... but I do like that air conditioner.. and in the winter the electric blanket..... Here in Oklahoma when we are close at home, one needs to keep up with the weather and the cell phones are good for that. Tornado almost got us about 15 years ago on a fishing trip and we didn't even know it was coming till it was there and gone..... missed us about 200 yards.

We camp and spend many lazy days out at the islands here...I love being unplugged. I actually look forward to those storms that knock out the power for days on end...I love the quiet. Happy to hear you and your wife had a wonderful time...many these days are not willing to unplug for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado almost got us about 15 years ago on a fishing trip and we didn't even know it was coming till it was there and gone..... missed us about 200 yards. Is gas very expensive for the Winnebago? not too bad right now, but a year or so ago it was cost prohibitive to take it across country. We take it to the lake here often that's about 100 miles away. When we bought it gas was $1.50 a gallon and we could afford to take it to lots of places. We'd drive up and spend a month at Yellowstone, which is just simply awesome. But when gas hits $3.50 a gallon, it's cheaper to stay in a hotel/motel and just not stay long. We do still travel, but with the travel club often we can stay in nice condos for about $200 a week at six miles a gallon, it's simply less expensive to just stay in the condos. Our retirement goals were geared toward being able to travel and see the US, and we spent years and years saving up to be able to do so. My wife who was a teacher when she worked actually put half of her salary into savings her whole 22 year career above our two retirement plans. So even though we do travel and do a lot of things, we aren't rich and we won't be able to do this for what I hope will be our lifetime..... but for the next few years, it's play for what we planned for our lifetime of work.

Our tent was nicer than my first apartment and our evening meals were prepared by a paid professional. But the freedom of no phone, computer or even clock was the draw.
