ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
After getting our condo shipshape upon our return to Mexico, we got to spend a little time getting down to the business of everyday living and having some fun: working out, massages, taking Spanish lessons, visits from friends and family, golf, and dining out. All part of Living Chapter 2, right?
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.
Even though we went to Scottsdale so Diana could have surgery, how long can you just sit around? Needless to say, we didn’t. We saw a NASCAR race, Marcia Ball, and the Phoenix Symphony.
After we arrived in Phoenix at the beginning of February, it occurred to me that we would be in town for the Super Bowl and all of the hoopla. In addition, I discovered a huge golf tournament within walking distance of our apartment. Lucky me!
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.
