Not strange at all. Everyone is different. My husband and I both love to travel, and we enjoy being at home most of the time also. One of my coworkers hates travel, except for the occasional driving trip to the beach. They plan to retire to their cabin on a lake next year, and spend most weekends there now.

My mom always wanted to go go go. That was until they bought their own house. (They lived in a mobile home in a rather bad neighborhood before) After that both were happy to stay home and remodel to their hearts content. They turned that poor house into a doll house.

When we retired 5 yrs ago, we planned on long winters in the south OR going full-time. House didn't sell, so full-time RVing was out. We spent 3 months heading to Florida 4 yrs ago. Got as far as Texas and family health issues forced us home early. Then this winter we went to Arizona for 4 months. Truthfully, I'm very happy being home and being able to do my crafts. DH has his projects he works on. I noticed that on the road, the people either loved to golf (you can do that anywhere) or play bingo. We do neither, so we would get bored. Generally, you travel a lotta hours, then camp for a week or two....in that week or two you explore. You can explore only so many times in a week and you get tired!!!! No -- I like "roadtrips"....but as far as long-term RVing....no thanks.

As much as I love to travel, I can fully understand those who don't enjoy it :D:D:D

Oh soooo cool...and then I didn't mention our four darlings. I hate to leave my dogs, I miss them so much...If i was rich, I would buy a house in the mountains....I love the mountains..it is so quite and serene..I would stay in that mountain 6 months of year lol.

I hate to travel, especially these days. I could stay home all the time and be perfectly content. So no, I don't think you're strange at all!

I don't think it is strange at all. Retirement is doing all of the things that you have put off while working or raising children or the like. Do what makes you happy. We are retired (only two years here) and relish every minute. I feel like I've thrown away the clock and schedules.......It is such a relief (I never thought I would say that as I absolutely loved my job and my DH did as well.......)

I don't think it strange. Sounds like you have travelled in your younger years and now don't want to roam so far from home. That's not a bad thing.

I love staying home! We traveled a lot between the east coast and Alaska and decided we enjoyed being home more than ever. I do a little without hubby but not much. He hates being among lots of people and would never do a tour or anything. And the way things are traveling now, forget it. I hate long lines and the feeling you are a terrorist at the airports. I am happy staying home but I would like to go to an occasional retreat for 3 days--I think that might start to happen soon as my leash has gotten longer. LOL Hubby and I both have things we like to do at home. So Rosy you are not alone! And not strange!
