Hello and have a great day! Wherever you are. 
Last year, 2018, (wdttg,where did the time go) Just before Labor Day, my wife of 46 yrs, passed from thus mortal coil. To say I was at loose ends is an understatement. This was after five months of hospitals, local and not-so-local. So it wasn't totally sudden. I lost interest in keeping up payments on the trailer. Boom,  evicted / homeless. Everything into storage, except for a few things, in the trunk and back seat. 
His doggy-ness Chocolate always came along. Except for church and the bathroom. After a while I went withy my son in a futile trip to Ft. Wayne, from Michigan. Child support didn't allow out of state fathers. (ugh). He went back I stayed with his almost-brother. Then, when I got paid again, left for Texas. 
Having relatives there, a sister law and - a grand daughter, with child, who are waiting for Daddy to get out of the U S Army. El Paso is hot, flat, treeless, and was my 'home' for a month. 
I drove / drive a Toyota Camry, (03) and have a Bluetooth rig that puts the Voice from Maps on the phone into the radio. Now the Travel Bug has bitten. Route 66? The Alcan Highway? The lower 48 plus Canada ?

Hi Dude, welcome to the forums. A nice lazy trip with your dog might be exactly what you need. I vote for the lower 48. Why pick between meeting people or finding some needed personal space when you can pick and choose almost daily. Best of luck with everything.
