I'm on a similar track. Oh boy, I thought, when I retire I'll be out for weeks and months at a time...didn't work out that way.
What I enjoy is no specific route planning or reservations...basically just pick a direction and go. Being self-contained is a must to make it work for me, and of course having the luxury of adding days when I feel like it.
