ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
The next stop on our Swiss ski adventure was Verbier, a town I had heard about for many years but never visited. Getting from Andermatt to Verbier should have been straightforward. It was not.
This year, our kids came to visit the 1st week of December, so again we were on our own for Thanksgiving, which is probably my favorite holiday. This year, I decided to cook, and so we invited some friends for Thanksgiving dinner. We also spent a wonderful day on Isla Mujeres with friends.
We have started a habit of visiting Scottsdale every year in the fall. So after Asheville and a short stop in the Bay Area, we headed to Arizona. You might ask, why do we go to Scottsdale every year?
On our way to our next stop in Charleston, we decided to stop at Beaufort for an afternoon because I read it was a beautiful southern town. In Charleston, we stayed at a really nice Hilton timeshare, we saw all of the sites, and ate a few wonderful meals. What could be better?
Diana’s need to rehab her broken hip meant we were (stuck) in Playa del Carmen for most of the summer. The only other time we were in this area during the summer was many years ago. To keep busy, I chose to seek out local events to get to know our town better.
