What does the wife think when her car-loving husband goes on a long touring trip by himself?

Husband touring

My husband often goes on long touring trips alone in his car when he goes on long vacations. Depending on the length of the vacation, it may be three days and two nights or a week, and the destination may be Tohoku or Shikoku.My dream is to someday go touring for a month or so straight.(laughs).

When one hears the word "touring," one thinks of a fun-filled trip in which one drives around in one's car, sometimes visiting sightseeing spots and eating local specialties, but this is not the case with my husband's touring.

They do not eat lunch, and they run from morning to night, sometimes for 12 hours a day.

What's with the training...(-_-)w

Touring in a Porsche

The other day I spoke to my husband on the phone at night, who is in a touring destination, but his voice was dead and he said, "I'm not sure I'm going to make it."What's wrong with you!When asked, "What is theI haven't spoken to anyone all day, and this is the first time I've opened my mouth, so it's hard to speak.He said (laughs).

I used to say, "Why do you have to go that far to run? Since you're going to a different place, why don't you eat local delicacies and rest your bones?" My husband replied

I don't need that. Because they are coming all the way to a place that is usually too far away to go for a run. If they were going on a trip with their family, it would be a waste of time to eat and relax. I don't care about that.I want to drive a car for as long as I can.No, it's not.

He replied.

In fact, my husband came home the other day from a long touring trip, a little thinner and with a smaller face.

In addition, most of the time, they choose Route Inn as their lodging for touring, rather than onsen ryokan or luxurious hotels.

Route Inn Hotel

."Why do you always stay at the Route Inn?I asked.

Lutin has a pretty big parking lot. Also, the location.Often located near highway interchangesThe "M" is a very convenient tool for touring because it can be used to make a lot of noise.Conscientious room rates and free breakfast.And it's a good deal.
I often decide on a general direction for my touring, and then just drive randomly on the day, so it is a hassle to find a place to stay each time. In this respect, Route Inn is located all over the country and their services are almost the same, so I can be sure that I can stay at a Route Inn.
I've stayed at Route Inns all over the country, and I think I could write a blog on the features and differences of Route Inns in each area.

He said.

Touring is like training

My husband is a car enthusiast and driver, and he says he couldn't be happier to be on the pleasant roads of the country, but touring alone is "aIt is also an important time to slow down and ask yourselfIt seems."

That I can face myself and think a lot about my future goals and the future of the company....

For me, touring is similar to a monk's ascetic practice of walking in the mountains, so I run as stoically as possible.

My husband had previously explained.

Touring in a Porsche

When I first heard about it, I thought, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.But when I actually got home from touring, I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.I've given it a lot of thought, but I'm still going this direction."A new goal has been set.I now think that touring is important to my husband in many ways, as he is often refreshed by it, etc.

What I think when I see my husband going on long touring trips

When I write something like this, I think to myself, "How could my husband not say anything about going on a long touring trip alone?Mina is a very understanding wife.I am often told that I am a good wife, but unfortunately, I am not that good of a wife (laughs).

."I put up with it and go along with my husband.or "Support your husband in a worthwhile way.He is the type of person who cannot do things like "I'm allowed to be free on a daily basis, so my husband should be allowed to be free too.I just think, "I'm not sure.

My parents are happy to see their grandchildren, and the children seem to enjoy playing with their grandparents.Each of us has a HAPPY way to spend our time.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

So, turning it around, "A situation where I am not free to do what I want, but only my husband is free to do what he wants.I'm sure I would be mad and angry if I were to become "the(That's why I'm not a ready wife at all.)

Touring in a Porsche

From the time we were married, my husband had been trying to get me to

If you want to be a housewife, be a housewife; if you want to work, work. If you are not good at cleaning and doing laundry, you can buy robot appliances or order a housekeeping service. Anyway, you can do whatever you want.Just do what you want and keep me in a good mood."

He said, as he said.

When I was struggling to work until I got sick, when I decided to take a break from work and focus on raising my child, when I started blogging because I wanted to have something I could devote myself to not only raising my child but also to society.You can do whatever you want, however you want.said her husband, who was always quietly supportive.

So I also hope that I can be there to support my husband in what he wants to do and what he likes to do.

I'm not quite ready to talk about married couples yet, but after a lot of experiences, I've recentlyA "proper sense of distance" and "respect" are important for married couples.I've come to believe that it is.

I don't interfere because I trust him, and I see the amazing things he can do that I could never do, and the way my husband takes on and overcomes many things.Go as far as you want, even go on a long touring trip alone!I began to think, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

I will continue to keep an eye on my husband's touring alone, but I was never interested in cars at all.I hope someday they can realize their dream of touring for a month straight!I am amazed at how my husband has managed to brainwash me into thinking "I'm not a good person, but I'm a good person.

    Hi Mina.

    She and her husband seem to get along well.

    I also just run when I'm solo, and I often run in the middle of nowhere in the mountains for lunch because eating is secondary.
    I do look at the scenery, though.
    And if you go on a long solo touring trip, you will lose weight as well;
    Furthermore, Route Inn is a member.
    Water is the only thing that is essential, so I always load up a couple of plastic bottles.
    We are just running in the mountains where there are no vending machines.

    These days I just run back home without stopping anywhere for a day trip, but I don't lose weight after a day or so.

      Hello, thank you for everything!

      >I also just run when I'm solo, and I often run in the middle of nowhere in the mountains for lunch because eating is secondary.
      Oooh, just like my husband...!
      And you are a member of Route Inn! That's amazing...!

      Solo touring allows me to ride as I please without worrying about who I'm riding with.
      I think it must be great fun.
      I'd like to go there someday too, just one day is enough for me (laughs).

    >Touring is like training

    I am not an ordinary person after all (laughs).
    I too love long tours and consider them the pinnacle of car-related activities.
    However, in my case, it was not more than a "car trip," and I spent at most 7 to 8 hours a day just driving around, eating local food, soaking in hot springs, and relaxing in scenic spots.
    Often, I eat too much and come home fat, which is the exact opposite of "training" (sweat).
    I think a month-long touring is a really great plan, but to run 12 hours a day for 30 days without eating or drinking....
    I think he is no longer a practicing Buddhist monk, but rather on the level of a sokushin-buddha (shudder).

    • Mina.Mina.

      WATA.

      >I'm still not an ordinary person.
      No, no, no...! What does someone as good as Mr. WATA have to say about this!
      My husband wants to go touring for a month straight. I saw an article about a 25-night touring trip by wata-san.
      I'm so proud of you, wata! I want to go too!" I am making it my goal to go there!

      I always say, "wata-san is amazing, I like touring too, but I'm not up to your level yet.
      I would like to stay at a ryokan like wata-san and tour around eating delicious food.

      I think my husband will continue to follow wata-san's back, so please keep up the good work (laughs)!

    I haven't been able to go this year, last year and COVID-19, but I myself have been going every year to "support the recovery" mainly in the disaster areas in Tohoku.
    It is a combination of regular visits and roads we have never driven before, and we are packed with 3 or 4 days of driving, or about 1,000-1,500 km in distance. It is fun to drive on roads I have never driven before, and I enjoy discovering something new every time I go. However, since this is a "reconstruction assistance" project, we do eat and shop at the places we go. Even at AEON, the selection of goods is quite different from the stores I usually use, which is interesting.
    With few exceptions, parking is free, there are large public baths, and if you are a member, you can get free bottles of PET. Even if you arrive late at night, there is often a supermarket nearby, so you will never run out of food.
    I often go around in a rental car, but when I go in a Cayman, I wonder if I don't see many of them in Tohoku, or if the locals ask, "Is that a Ferrari?" I am asked, "Not exactly," to which I reply, "It's not a Ferrari. It seems that many people think Porsche = 911.

      >Myself, I also go out every year to the disaster-stricken areas in Tohoku as part of my "reconstruction assistance" efforts.
      Oh wonderful...!
      It's amazing that you can drive 1000-1500 km at one time...!

      I, too, love going to the local supermarkets and stores.
      There are local things and it's great fun just to look at them (you have to buy them ^^;)

      I knew you would be staying at the Route Inn most nights!
      So this is a regular lodging for touring enthusiasts.

      >I often go around in a rental car, but when I go in a Cayman, I wonder if I don't see many of them in Tohoku, and the locals ask me, "Is that a Ferrari?" I am asked, "Not exactly," to which I reply, "It's not a Ferrari. It seems that many people think Porsche = 911.

      You'd see a lot of Porsches if you were in the city.
      You don't get a chance to see them when you go to the countryside or rural areas.
      I knew you had a strong image of 911, I see...!

      Please keep them coming!

    It's nice to meet you. I've been reading your books for a long time, and I couldn't help but comment on how wonderful your husband and wife's relationship is. I just wanted to comment because I thought Mina's relationship with her husband and wife was so wonderful. I am a transferee and have been living in Kobe for 4 years. I've been in Kobe for 4 years now, and I'm a transferee. I've been in Kobe for 4 years now and I'm totally immersed in the beauty of this city. There are many nice cars driving around. Last Sunday, I went to the East Rokko Observation Deck and was overwhelmed. It was fun to see so many different cars. I look forward to reading more of your blog!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Hoshino.
      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      And thank you for saying that about our marriage.

      >I've been relocating to Kobe for 4 years now. I've been in Kobe for 4 years now and I'm totally immersed in the beauty of this city.
      Oh, yes! Kobe has both the sea and mountains, and there are many beautiful streets.
      It really is a lovely city.
      I see you are in Ashiu!

      My husband usually goes up to Ashiari when it's sunny.
      If you see us, we would be happy to hear from you.

      Thank you for your continued support!

    Hello. - Hello.
    I feel like I could ride for a month and when I get back I'll be told it's not enough. lol
    I don't get to go touring anymore because my kids are small, but I'd like to start with a one-night stay.

    I would like to join you if you ever pass through Toyama.

    • Mina.Mina.

      YuKe.
      Thank you!

      >I'm afraid that even if I ride for a month, I'll come back and say "not enough" lol
      Indeed, I think I would say so (laughs).
      My husband said that Toyama also has many wonderful roads, so I am very jealous.

      I know it's hard when your kids are little.
      It sure would be nice to be able to go running from about one night ^^^.
      I look forward to meeting you one day!

  6. oh-ho (metaphorically, e.g. "ooh!")

    Nice to meet you, I am a black 4S type 997 driver from Kanagawa, Japan.
    To a blog where the wife can showcase her husband's narrative of his car savvy (especially the Porsche) in this way.
    Very interesting and I look forward to new Porsche information.
    I was looking at your husband's long touring article this time, and wondered if I had been to Myoko, Shiga, Kusatsu, and Shima Onsen when I toured around the area.
    I thought that the white Boxster I saw on the mountain pass before Shiranesan was her husband.
    There are many Boxsters in the market, so I don't think it's possible.
    Please keep us posted on Porsche information.

  7. oh-ho (metaphorically, e.g. "ooh!")

    Good evening, I am feeling happy and strange that such a thing can happen.
    After having lunch and watching a rerun of the morning drama at Kita-Shinshu Yamanouchi Roadside Station, just off the R292 (Asama-Shirane-Shiga Sawayaka Kaido), I took the road on a weekday.
    I tried to enjoy it, but as I was driving along feeling disappointed with the number of cars, as the owner commented, I spotted a white Boxster parked there.
    I decided to pass by the spot, pull into a parking spot near the top, operate the in-car action camera, and get out for a bit to enjoy the view.
    When I stopped with many people and was about to leave, I was remembered by the fact that I presently saw the white Boxster that I had just seen parked behind me.
    It is a shame to think that if it had not been so crowded, we would have been able to get off the bus and talk.
    They say what happens once happens twice. Believe me, the next time we meet by some miracle, we'll both enjoy the Japanese viewing route with no accidents! Please let us know.
    Thank you for your comment reply.
