Jay, Knowing your regular bike size and your wife's makes a huge difference especially regarding comfort! I am 6’6” once had a 66cm bike Friday which road comfortably and surprisingly like my other full size bikes. Yet my wife thought I looked like a bear on a bike in a circus. The packing took just as long almost as assembling and packing a bike with S&S couplers. If you can invest 20 minutes on each end only a break away bike will ride with the comfort and familiarity I would want CC touring 40+ mile days slowly exploring. I have had 3 Rivs with couplers. A 62cm Custom, a 68cm Atlantis, and a 53cm Atlantis for my wife. All are packable in a 26x26 x8 case. Only the Atlantis took over 20 minutes. I have ridden a Brompton and BF 16” wheeled bikes and would only use in urban situations and if using public transportation. Anyone under 6’ has a very different perspective because the difference between their foldable bike is not that drastically different as one would be to a 62cm Hunq. Maybe I am more susceptible to the variation than many others. The boat trip is a separate beast. More like a bus I would want a folder (maybe a Brompton) but could never see myself exceeding 25+ miles a day on one.
Good luck. Biking is an amazing activity to combine with vacationing. Something about the pace of exploring and observing a new place.
