Trips like that make life worth living... don't wait too long or you'll be saying woulda, coulda, shoulda - don't be that guy.
I take 2 or more trips like that each year, sometimes 2-up with my son, sometimes just me. Riding alone or with company doesn't matter - if you want to do it, pick a destination or two, start planning, get out there and go!
To the OP - you guys were less than 10 minutes from me and you didn't stop by... no call, nothing. I'm deeply hurt.
But seriously - great trip, great pics, congrats Shawn!
