ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Now that all of our stuff is in Playa, we will come home with luggage filled with wine and other items purchased in the US. Our return this time involved getting new furniture, having fun with friends, and of course checking out Playa’s many culinary delights.
Who said retirement was easy? Homeownership is no walk in the park either. While we were in France, we had decided we weren’t going to rent our condo any more. That decision lead to planning improvements and new purchases for our condo in Mexico.
Believe it or not, we did some things in Playa del Carmen that didn’t involve work on our condo. We found ourselves with more free time and honestly, we haven’t really relaxed in Playa since we have owned the place.
Our latest stint in Playa del Carmen involved far more than our extensive kitchen remodel. First, we received our remaining items from long-term storage. Then, we took advantage of the help on-site to tackle a variety of smaller jobs around the condo.
As many of you know, this was our third kitchen remodel and happily we learned a lot. The only difference this time was the construction methods used in Mexico, namely, everything is constructed with concrete. That complicated everything.
