ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Following our busy remodeling and upgrade efforts at our condo in Playa del Carmen, it was time to set out for another summer in Europe—our first stop: Vienna. Our trip to Vienna rapidly became a luggage3 “adventure”, the term we use when things don’t go too well.
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.
Beyond Museums and Markets, our return to Buenos Aires included an opera, a soccer match, and a tango show. All of these were major events and required advanced planning, but totally worth it.
