pick one of your bikes that can carry a light load. maybe you and the missus can take the amtrak someplace out west with scenery and less traffic. she can rent a small rv or pickup and drive between camping spots while you ride with minimal load. after a week or so, send her home, you can (or not) continue to some beach...
We have sort of "been there, done that". I rode across Arkansas a few years ago with a friend. My wife drove, met us each day with a picnic lunch, and checked on us a couple times during the day. Picked us up the end of each day, and drove us to where we spent the night. She also went with me one year when I did RAGBRAI, with one of our daughters and son-in-law.
