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.
A big part of our roving retirement nomadic lifestyle involves lots and lots of car rentals. As you can imagine, with that many car rentals, there are bound to be incidents. So, we always make sure that we have insurance for any larger car-related incidents.
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.
