In my business career I was a frequent traveler and now don’t miss the hotels, eating out, or riding on planes one bit.
In retirement we chose to buy a travel trailer, for a number of reasons including the declining state of hotels and restaurants in the USA. No worries about clean bathrooms, clean sheets or bedbugs. No worries about restaurant kitchen help spitting in the food (or worse). Plus the added bonus of enjoying the sites and sounds of nature far from urban squalor and crime.

Good idea. I am trying to remember whether in the past whether the Italians or Irish had lousy accommodations or restaurants or stores. I don't recall.
