ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our family has been going to Lake Tahoe between Christmas and New Year’s for the last 15 years. After our ski week in Tahoe (this year only five days) we drove back to the Bay Area. After saying goodbye to the kids, we headed to Utah.
For the first time in two and a half years, I was on my own for a full week of solo adventures. My primary reason was an annual guys golf junket in Palm Springs California. However, our golf clubs were in our storage box in Las Vegas, so I tacked on a quick trip to Vegas to retrieve the clubs before returning to Palm Springs.
Our latest adventure took us from Panama to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. PV has been on our list for a while because it is a resort town and we have relatives there, but we didn’t want to go to Mexico until we got vaccinated. In addition to hanging out with family, we did a few fun things, besides breaking this website.
It was time for our nearly three months in Europe to come to an end. We weren’t unhappy with having to return to Barcelona to fly back to the Bay Area. Our roving retirement isn’t like a vacation, it’s like living in lots of different places while managing life stuff, much of which is in the Bay Area.
We are at the end of our 4-week stay in Scottsdale. As always, it is a little sad to go. Over the last few weeks we had a chance to watch the Giants beat the Diamondbacks, play golf, plan future travel, and have some great meals.
