Dear Abby: Husband’s idea of fun road trip doesn’t jibe with mine. Should I leave him home?

A newly retired woman plans a dream road trip from Florida to Alaska and back. She intends to travel without her husband because he dislikes long journeys and would likely make the experience miserable. The husband has imposed several demands, including limited daily driving, hotel stays over camping, and a gas-guzzling SUV instead of an energy-efficient car. These requirements would significantly increase the trip's total cost and duration, leading her to consider leaving him home.
