ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our European nomadic adventure continues south of Barcelona with visits to three different and noteworthy monasteries. We followed up the monasteries with a few days in the lovely beach town of Sitges that we had heard about many times.
Neither Mike nor I had ever visited Barcelona before so we figured we would try to see as much as we could in the week we were there. But we also made time to wander in many interesting neighborhoods.
I wanted to go to Rochester New York last summer to finish setting up my son’s house, but due to Covid, that wasn’t possible. However, we were able to visit this year. So, I was finally able to see the house in person and happily realize my vision for the space.
After two weeks of enjoying the peace and quiet of the north shore of Kauai, we moved to the southern shore of Kauai. The south shore resort area is called Po’ipu and definitely seemed much more like the hustle and bustle of Maui. A bit of a welcome change after the slow pace of life in Princeville.
Most of us in early retirement want to travel extensively and we may or may not be too young for Medicare. Either way, you will need to understand your options for “travel insurance” and “medical insurance.”
