By the time I seriously consider doing this, I'm not going to want to do the backpacker route which I loved so much all over Europe when I was 20. It'll be my wife and I at age 60 and we'll want, y'know, a real bed and a shower. I truly have no concept of what this costs, other than I don't expect it to be either $400 or $20,000.
