ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our roving retirement travels in 2021 taught us a few lessons, the most significant is that we need to travel slower in the future. This year we had 59+ travel days. That means that we slept in at least that many beds, and that is definitely too much.
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.
Spending a month of roving retirement in the beach community of Playa Coronado didn’t mean that we didn’t have any field trips. One such excursion was to El Valle a town in an old volcanic crater near Coronado.
While our visit to Panama was mostly about relaxing, working on the blog, and travel planning for next year, we did find time to visit Lake Gatun and a place called Monkey Island.
