When I was a young(er) woman I frequented a bookstore where every book was $.99. I bought a camping/hiking book and so wanted to try camping. Well I did and quickly learned I loved the "idea" of camping but not the actual experience. The last camping trip was on a beach in Maine. So cold,so sandy ,so wet when it started to rain. Boy did that Motel room feel good!

Ahhhh, yes, camping memories. Have a lot of those. Cooking over the Coleman stove, the Coleman lantern casting a glow, watching as my husband cursed and swore while trying to put up the huge old tent we'd bought used. It had interior poles. It was an experience just to watch him do it. We camped A LOT when we were first married because we had no money. And it was fun. And we were out in nature with other fun folks. Great memories. But---I do like those clean sheets of hotel rooms now.

Yikes, better you than me! My idea of camping is the Marriott. My hubby's? Pack it in - pack it out. He feels, if you can't carry it on your back, you don't need it. Yeah, 16 years of marriage, one camping trip.

Good luck!

I've always said that my kind of camping is called a motel room! My husband grew up camping every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day and he misses it (or at least the nostalgia of it). We went two or three times during the first few years we were married. Now I don't even want to think the words, let alone say them out loud! If you do go, at least try and have fun. Good luck!

You are a braver woman than me, Deb. Our cottage has heat (but no AC) and hot and cold running water, comfy beds, and hubby STILL calls it camping. What does he want? The Ritz?

I'm a Brownie scout leader and I don't ever look forward to these camping trips! My back isn't used to lying on hard surfaces, and it always seems to rain...

If it's like most camping trips I know of, you'll also soon remember that you (not your husband) probably has to get everything organized, packed and ready for the trip. And then once there, unpack and set up. Oh, then coming home you repack. But the fun part is when you get home and have to unpack (again), wash and put up everything that was used. Oh the joys of camping.
