We found the same to be true. Our days of "have to get there, can't stop, keep pushing" are well behind us. There are some days when after stopping for the night, we get up, have coffee, get the trailer hooked up, ready to roll, look at each other, say, "Nah" and walk to the campground office, register for another night and go put on bathing suits and walk to the pool. Other days, we'll "plan" to make it some "few hundred" miles, and as the day is beginning, we'll see a billboard on the side of the road, think that it might be an interesting "side journey" and maybe only make it 50 miles before we're ready to spend more time than "allowed" so we find a campground and go exploring...... Life's too short to set destinations and "omit" everything in the middle just to say, "I've been there"..... enjoy the trip, "getting there" is at least a significant portion of the journey and may turn out to be the best part when all is said and done. The destination isn't the only part of RVing.....
