The Odyssey Years - A new life stage?

<p>I think I have wanderlust. sigh…</p>

<p>I want to hop in a VW BugBus, or into my own Honda Odyssey (190K miles and counting at 5 years old), and just go out into America in search of my dream(s): a dishwasher, maid, and perhaps, just maybe, a dog that doesn’t shed in shades which contrast with my carpeting.</p>

<p>Seriously - who doesn’t have wanderlust in their 20’s? Even back in pioneer days it wasn’t those in their 50’s who wandered the continent. For the most part, it was the young people in their late teens through early 30’s. Nowadays, people have considerably more money and probably more opportunity to check out the world before they settle down to a mortgage and cable bill.</p>
