Does Age Quash Our Spirit of Adventure?

While I still want to organize a LoT camping trip for next Spring ... I find I'm more the cabin type than the tent type nowadays.

And if I find myself trekking across Europe, it will be from hotel suite to hotel suite.

But the urge to trek across Europe, and to be close to nature so I can kayak on the river and climb high in the mountains is still there. A bit has changed with age ... but mostly due to creature comfort desires rather than adventure yen changes.

Oh, I so hear you on this. I don't know if we can make it if you guys plan the Yosemite thing but while I liked the looks of a big gang of people hooking up at Housekeeping Camp {the set up with lights, tables set up to play cards, music, people next to you that you KNOW} and I even bought gear {but I just like to shop} inside my mind is leaning towards 'No way!!'

Also, I am booking hotels all up the coast of CA/OR and then back down the innerds of CA and when I was younger, price was it. I wanted to save money, I wasn't worried what we would get, as long as it was clean, heck it was only one night.

But, I just CAN'T do it!! I am booking nicer places, even if we are just going to be there to sleep and breakfast.

Is this a sign of age or an indication that I am paranoid of freaks and bed bugs?
