ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
In recent years, many of our friends from the Bay Area have moved to Southern or Central California. So, after three years we thought it would be fun to visit, starting at my oldest friend’s second home on the Tule River in the Sequoia National Forest.
We returned to Mexico this March seeking a place to reenergize after our busy ski season in the US and Europe. We chose Riviera Nayarit (formerly known as Nuevo Vallarta) because the vibe is much more chill than in the hotel zone of Puerto Vallarta, but that doesn’t mean that we just sat around the entire time.
Our desire to spend time in a warm place to recover from the cold and dryness of ski season took us back to lovely Puerto Vallarta (PV), Mexico. The first thing I was struck by on arrival was not just the warmth but the humidity, in a good way.
For years, we have talked about skiing in France, this year we finally got there. Our final European ski destination of the 2021/2022 ski season was in 3 Vallees, France.
The Nike folks say “Just do It”. That has always been my life philosophy. Find the things in your life that make you happy and just do them.
