ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
It was two years ago, this week, that Diana and I chose to start sharing our Adventures, Challenges, and Insights in Early Roving Retirement. Our home-free adventure is bold and exciting for some and just plain scary for others. But we are definitely fulfilling our dream of a roving retirement.
After two weeks of enjoying the peace and quiet of the north shore of Kauai, we moved to the southern shore of Kauai. The south shore resort area is called Po’ipu and definitely seemed much more like the hustle and bustle of Maui. A bit of a welcome change after the slow pace of life in Princeville.
It’s gearing up to be a big travel summer as newly vaccinated folks emerge from their Covid cocoons. High demand is fueling ever higher airfares. But we found a good deal to Europe with Google Explore.
Most of us in early retirement want to travel extensively and we may or may not be too young for Medicare. Either way, you will need to understand your options for “travel insurance” and “medical insurance.”
After two weeks in Kona driving all over the huge Big Island, we got to the very laid-back environment of the north shore of Kauai. A bit of a shock to the system. In fact, the resort in Princeville had only opened five days before we arrived. No trouble finding a pool chair here.
