Good morning, all.
After a crazy winter...still going on in most of the country...March, the lioness, will hopefully go out like the proverbial lamb.
We're getting some much-needed rain here in California, so today is a stay indoors and reflect sort of day.
Much planning is going on here. Setting up the garden, of course, and continuing my maintenance "balancing act" of food and exercise. But our two main projects this Spring are a six week-long trip to Europe in late April, (a visit to my son and DIL in Paris, Uniworld river cruise with friends in Portugal, and 4 weeks of driving the back roads of the UK) followed by a major master bath remodel.
Retirement may be many things, but it's not boring.
Hope your day is going well. What are your plans for Spring?

These sound like wonderful trips. Don't you love travel? Seeing how other people live in the world makes you appreciate your own four walls.
It can also be devastating. So much poverty, hunger and fear. Also, world travel teaches us that "we" are not the only way to live. There are other countries with wonderful standards of living, educational and professional opportunity.
It's a big world full of everything.
I've had the good fortune to travel over a good bit of the globe. Some on business, but took vacation attached, some just touring. My husband and I like to take apartments in foreign cities when we can. Great way to get out of the commercial areas, meet locals, shop at the markets and see more of the day-to-day in a foreign country.
China, Japan and parts of Africa aren't places that easily lend themselves to this.
Our next trip is France, Spain and Portugal for the month of September. I plan to be very slim by then!!!!! Will need to have room to eat all that wonderful French, Spanish and Portuguese food.0 -
gspieler,
I have the same desire to be slim, or at least slimmer, by October when we go on a cruise to the Mediterranean. I hope to lose at least 35 lbs. by then, still a long way from slim. We are going to Alaska in May but will probably be bundled up. It definitely won’t be shorts weather.

I agree on the retirement thing. I’ve been retired for 15 years and haven’t had a day of boredom. But then, life is what you make of it.
Aren’t we all the travelers! I hope all of you enjoy your trips. Stay safe,
