Back again, just needed a rest.

After a quick stop in Newland, NC for Adult Summer Camp, we’re back on the road. It was a great 10 months but it’s so nice to start traveling again. Little Al didn’t make this trip across the Atlantic, turns out he can’t swim but he will be with us soon on US adventures.

We weren’t sitting idle for 10 months, we…bought a house in the Appalachian’s and updated it from its glorious 1970’s decor…played more golf than we thought we ever would (I have learned that more play only hurts my game while Joan quickly caught the bug and improves with each play)…we found a wonderful group of people that have created a fun loving community and quickly took us in as if we were lifelong friends…we unfortunately buried two awesome men, Joan’s dad and my older brother…and we moved back to Austin to take advantage of warmer conditions (maybe). More to come on our summer fun…

In order to take advantage of some credits we received from our cancelled 2020 overseas trip, and Joan’s theory that you have to spend money to save money, the three Amigos landed in Porto, Portugal for a 7 day adventure. The city welcomed us with tears of joy in the way of wind and heavy rain for a 72 hour period. The good news is that it has been intermittent and we’ve been able to sprint around the city without too much sogginess.

Joan and Brett have assured me that they have planned city adventures ($$), wine trips ($$), great dinners ($$) and plenty other things an old retiree would love to do.

Hang on, more to come…
