It is tough to find the time, money and opportunity to "hit the open road" before your retirement days. I'm very grateful to have had the good fortune to ride a motorcycle around the nation on 2 separate occassions. The first trip was more than 2 months long and really felt like I was retired.
There is nothing like long days cruising the highways across scenic deserts, endless cornfields and gorgeous mountains to satisfy the wanderlust. I don't think I would average 35 mpg in a 2008 Challenger, though.
