Yup.  I see the usual 2500s pulling some massive travel trailer and figure they are getting 10-12 mpg, same with a motor home.  Then they are towing some midget car usually.  I'll just stay in a hotel.

My wife notes it would mean she'd be cooking and cleaning as if she were at home.

Our hotel in Tokyo is $861 per, but I managed to use points.  As if.

A cruise with the uprated balcony suite runs about $900 per night, not including excursions (tours) which get pricey. 

A "normal" driving trip runs maybe $250-300 a day for a decent hotel, food, and gas for two people. 

Travel is expensive unless you use rail and hostels etc. 

Of course, the appeal to most of a camper or RV, is being able to go places where there AREN'T hotels.  If that's your thing, then it makes sense. But there's no ROI calculation that can justify the expense of owning an RV.  You do it for the experiences, for the memories.

Make sure to hit up Old San Juan and check out the fort, if you've never done so. Some of the street food in OSJ is fantastic. Your ship should dock at OSJ. Very walkable, but cobblestone.

And believe it or not, there is a fantastic BBQ joint in St. Thomas, close to where the ships dock.

Was looking good, up until 

Yeah, so we didn't get that.

They gotta appeal to people who like that kind of crap.

Man wants brisket. Woman is vegan.

Man wins.

When I was getting divorced and found myself on dating apps before I eventually found the correct wife, there were three things that were automatic "no" if I saw them on a woman's profile:

• She mentioned being vegetarian/vegan.
• She mentioned not drinking.
• She mentioned religion/God.

The first two? Yeah, we're just not gonna have compatible lifestyles. I eat meat and I drink beer. I'm not planning to stop. So unless you're willing to be the kind of girl who eats smoked tofu when we go out for BBQ and volunteers to be the designated driver when I drink, it's not gonna work. And if you ARE that kind of girl, that's what we call a "doormat" and I don't want to be with someone I don't respect. 

The third? It's not that I was averse to dating a believer, but if it's high enough in your personal hierarchy that it goes into your public dating profile, you're not going to want to be with an atheist like me, so why waste each other's time? 

Your wife can't get the smoked chicken.

She'd prefer the brisket anyway 

I'm gonna say something highly controversial, something that could get me lynched down here in Texico, so I'll deny it if y'all repeat it anywhere, but...

...I don't really give a rat's ass about smoked sausage.  I consider it filler and it takes up room in my stomach that would be better used for brisket, ribs, smoked chicken, smoked turkey, and pretty much any other protein that is not sausage.

It's not that I dislike BBQ sausage, it's fine.  I just don't really care about it and would pick almost anything over it.

Actually, I'm with you on that. The only sausage I really do like is Kielbasa. There is nothing like a Maxwell Street Polish.

A good German bratwurst, simmered in beer, kraut, and onion, then grilled to add color, tossed on a bun with coarse mustard and fresh kraut. 

Perfection.

That works too. Been a long while since I've had a brat. I should go check at the German Butcher up the road a piece. I'm sure they have good brats. I've had their Weiss Wurst and that was good.
