This trip (biking the Camino, transit time, and a little vacation with leftover time at the end) was the best 5 weeks of my life. Met lots of fascinating people, saw amazingly beautiful land and buildings, ate wonderful food (and, as a vegetarian in a not-particularly-veggie-friendly culture, far too many eggs), and completed the most involved physical task i’ve ever attempted. I feel healthier, happier, more confident, and more focused. Met a Frenchman who left for Santiago 8 days after hearing about the Camino, a Spaniard who walks it every year in 15 days, a Belgium doing it with a mule, and two Italians doing it hauling their gear in baby strollers. Talked to folks from six continents (nobody from Antarctica), easily a dozen countries, and an impressive range of ages. Truly wonderful. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Got mine in November just after moving back to the country (US). It’s tremendously fun to drive. It’s my third car, and the best by far. I also confess that the frequent looks and questions about it are kinda nice.

This isn’t about sleeping a lot, it’s about going to, say, Alaska or Iceland at the right time of year for a week or more.
