We're about the same age even. And like Jodi, my wife has a career of her own (she's the breadwinner, actually). <BR/><BR/>I have wondered many of the same wonderings about long distance trips/long separations from my wife of 16+ years. I spent eight weeks away from her on a job one summer, and it was not fun. I promised I would never be gone that long again -- at least, not for work. <BR/><BR/>I have never climbed mountains, but I have always had big dreams. One of them is a trans-America ride. I had pretty much abandoned that idea until recently, as my trike has made long-distance cycling possible for me. <BR/><BR/>Now I am beginning to think vaguely about a TransAm ride. I'm still a couple of years away from any serious decision making, I think, but the idea is there.<BR/><BR/>So, as much as you are able and comfortable, I would surely be interested in knowing how the two of you manage this. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes, as ever,<BR/><BR/>-MikeMichael Heggenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136103865218623107noreply@blogger.com
