ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our next adventure had us boarding a ship to Europe. We figured we would try an alternative to flying by taking a transatlantic voyage. But before every long trip, or at the change of seasons, we pop into the Bay Area. We always visit friends, do some shopping, and replenish our stores.
On our trip to Florida, we wanted to take some time and check out the Southwest corner of the state. Each town had a very different feel and the only way we would have known this was to visit and see it ourselves.
We decided to spend a few weeks in Florida as the next step in our roving retirement. I’ve never been overly keen on visiting Florida, but I did want to see Key West and the overseas highway.
In the ‘not Miami’ part of South Florida, the number one thing to do is to see the Everglades. It seems the entire lower 1/3 of Florida is empty except for swamps, birds, and alligators.
Our original goal in coming to Miami in December was to enjoy the warm weather. Roving retirement lets you chase 80F weather around the globe but with Covid, lots of places are off limits, so we chose South Florida.
