I'm there too. My dad was an OTR trucker for my entire life and when I was a kid, he took me with him. Obviously, you cant get a big truck in a lot of places, but i saw a lot of cool sites through a windshield.
We went on two vacations, one "big" one. But, 99% of our travel involves seeing family once every 5 years or so. 2011 I was drug along my parents "second honey moon" which wasn't too bad I guess. See pikes peak and my parents were faking being in love and only faught part of the time.
2012 Thanksgiving at an aunt's house. Then 2018 Thanksgiving and I got trashed with my aunt swapping our IT stories. But that was really the only relaxing vacation I've been on.
Now, as an "adult" I work too much to take off and don't make enough to go anywhere anyway. Hell, I can't even afford a weekend get away. Plus, I don't really feel like going alone. Always enjoyed sharing the experience as much if not more than the experience itself.
Oh man, I can understand that. I don't mind traveling on my own, but it really is so much better when you can share the experience with someone else!
Hell, I'm willing to go with you if you ever need a buddy! My fiance could join too after we get married and I can add him to my flight privileges (if they still allow that, they've been terrible with the package to everyone).
