However, my husband and I do have a trip coming up in November - and it's a camping trip.
Most importantly, this is going to be our first camping trip EVER!
To be honest, at first I was a little resistant to [= 抵抗がある] the idea of staying the middle of nowhere [a place far from city with nothing much] with bare minimum.
But after my recent "glamping trip" with my friends, I found myself enjoying nature quite a bit.
Also after talking to a few students about it, I realized it may be a good idea.
Plus, it would be something that we can pursue together as husband and wife! :)
So right now, we are busy researching camping gears and all.
But kinda we're torn between buying them and renting them.
Renting seems to be cheaper.
But buying seems to be more worth it in the long run.
But oh well, we have a month to go!
Let's see how it goes :) [see how it goes 様子を見る]
