Since he's pulling a travel trailer rather than a boat, you are probably
right. It must be horrible to not be able to afford a vacation in your
final years...

You're kidding, right? I could leave the hot southern US on May 1, and stay
gone until Sept 1 in a travel trailer, and have one hell of a time. Just
wander with a slight master plan. A kayak and my float tube would do me for
the kind of lakes and waters I want to fish.

Or, I could go on a "real" vacation, sitting next to fatsos in Spandex
bathing suits at the pool, or share a spa or pool with flatulent tourists
and diapered kids, or enjoy overpriced cold freezer burnt trout instead of
fresh, but I'd rather just take the cheap way out, even though I can afford
to go the "real" way.

Unless you're talking about Kauai, and then it would be a toss up between
two to four weeks in Kauai versus 12 weeks on the prowl in the northern US
and southern Canada. Maybe even up to the Alcan.

Lemmesee, fat tourists in Spandex or some fireflies and fresh trout. Wait,
wait, I know the answer to this .....................
