You are very wise indeed. But the beautiful place and the myriad of things to do and the joy of being with enthusuastic people from all over will wear you down.

Best mistake we ever made.

And we continue to get younger. Soon they will be begging us to join that danged Baby Boomers club.

Up with Bloomers down with Boomers. Or is it the other way around?
