You guys are an inspiration to me! I retired 5+ years ago at 61 and thought I would travel the world but it didn't happen. Adult kid problems, not being able to say "no" to two fostered dogs no one wanted - and I scared myself out of doing it alone. Plan B was to move to a beautiful place, which I did - as I now live in Sedona AZ with those two beautiful girls.
I have traveled some ( just came back from three weeks in Spain and Portugal) but I just can't get rid of this travel bug - and reading your newsletter is not helping me!
So, for the month of January, I have rented out my house and the girls and I will be in a Phoenix Airbnb. I know, not far, but baby steps you know?? I plan to use it as a base for exploring the bottom half of AZ - Tucson, Bisbee, wine country and more
. I have the house rented out again in March and me and the girls will explore the northern coast of CA. We have twice traveled in CA for 7 week periods so I know the girls are fine with it. From reading your newsletters etc., I now have the confidence to try this out by myself with the girls of course.
If this all goes well, the plan is then to rent out my house for 6 to 18 months and travel across Canada Airbnb/VRBO to AirBnb/VRBO and parts of the US. The girls are only 6+ years old, so it'll be awhile until I can travel abroad for extended periods of time.
Meanwhile - please keep doing what you are doing. I enjoy your FB posts and the newsletter. You even make me laugh out loud sometimes.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to let you know you are making an impact.
Hi Michael, with regard to health care, I have often heard that it is way less expensive than in the US, and that often times you get equal or better care. I wonder how that works when one of us has cancer (bone marrow). Any idea? At this point, we are limited on time away as he needs to return for a shot/chemo at least once a month. Thanks , Lisa and Dave
Hmm, I wonder if this would work for soul sister's (X couple) My X and I are soul mates and we still live together and basically do everything together. Biught a house in SMA Mexico, thinking we would retire there but since the 'condemnic' it really but a hualt on things. We are also up in our progressive years (60's) so a little less adventurous and mor 5 star sliving would fit better.....;-o...lol. Great read and look forward to virtually experianciing you adventure.
