The first ten years
of retirement my wife and I were gypsies.
For five years, we cruised aboard our 38 ft. sailboat from the North Channel in Lake Huron to The Bahamas. We were snow birds on water. We headed North for summer then South for the winter. Most winters were spent in The Bahamas. We were true cruisers. We seldom stayed at marinas but anchored in some of the most beautiful natural harbors in North America. It was a life long dream that I had since a young kid after reading Hornblower books. Lucky for me my wife was just as adventuresome.
The second five years we lived on the road in an RV. After sailing all our life and spending most vacations sailing we decided it was time to see some other sights in the USA. I traveled internationally and domestically in business but that is different. Working is not conducive to exploring the areas you travel to. It started out as a planned 1 year trip. Heck it took us one year to travel from Kentucky to California via Florida. Obviously we really went slow. The adventure lasted five years. Most of the time we spent out West forming a big box from Vancouver to Tijuana and the Rocky Mountains. If we like a place we stayed for a few weeks or a month, no rush except to keep out of cold weather. Again we were snow birds and followed the warm weather. Learned lots of kewl stuff about our country and it's people.
Now we have started a third adventure. Life in TV. we moved here in 2009. Sharing half the year with our Ky. Home and TV.
