    We did most of our travelling while my husband and I were still working. We had ten years of travelling to many place in North America and Europe. Now that we are retired and there are health issues we look back over all the places we have visited and how lucky we were to visit them. We don't miss travel, we live through all of our friends that continue to travel. Don't leave travelling until retirement because you never know about health issues and economic issues.

    I agree. We travelled to a lot of our bucket list places while we were still working. Drove to all the Canadian provinces and territories except Nunavet, did African safari, Europe, a number of cruises. Unfortunately my husband is in a nursing home now at 61, I still work but plan to retire in the next 2 to 3 years. I am glad we travelled while we had our health otherwise my husband would have missed out had we waited for retirement

We are going to take our grandson to Disneyland, as a person with a pre existing condition do you recommend increased travel insurance. My credit card will cover my wife if she has had no ongoing or recurring conditions within 90 days of travel. We will also ask for our Dr. to document that her health status is ok for travel.

    Hey 👋 Norm & Tina! You’re looking good in navy & yellow, and the lighting below is akin to having a fireside chat- very nice! I found something in retirement I thought I had put in my bucket for good- plein air, alla prima painting! I’m doing 2 per week. I have 11 now. I seem to have a special talent and ability. So after about 3 years in retirement, I’m an artist!! A real life go-outside-experiencing-the-fresh-air-and-colors-in-oil paint-on-canvas artist. After 45 years as a commercial artist, I was done. Now, I can’t believe my new life. I can paint like it’s 1977. All it took was my wife dragging me, kicking and screaming, to a group painting session at our local Senior Center, and getting my feet wet again. Then folks told me I should teach the class! Crazy. I look back on my paintings and I’m amazed. “Look”, I say to my wife, “I did that.” And beyond this, we paid for a cruise today to Nova Scotia, Canada- for Sept on Norwegian. Life is great!, and getting better.

    I am disheartened to learn the passing of a Canadian treasure, Gordon Lightfoot, on May 1, 2023 in Toronto. Our shared American and Canadian treasure will be gravely missed, and will never be forgotten in our hearts. I am glad he blessed our countries and added to our cultures. Every time I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever. Now for a spin of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I am in tears. 😥😥 Our common histories and love of freedom and liberty will always be held dearly in my heart. May we both know and treasure our eternal friendship, ensemble toujours!

Our retirement goal is to hike long-distance trails all over the world, interact with the locals, eat their food, and see the sights.

    Travel was the main reason my wife and I retired. We had 6 weeks vacation annually but it never seemed enough. So some of our out of country trips include Scotland, Norway (Lofoten Islands), Iceland, Georgia and Azerbaijan, Montenegro and many others. Our list includes 29 countries and 20 major cities. Within Canada, we just bought a new travel trailer replacing one we used for 18 years. Trips will be the local parks, but next year off to Grasslands NP and Riding Mountain. Other locations include Newfoundland (have been there for our honeymoon in 1991 and 2 visits since, Vancouver Island (Pac Rim NP) Whitehorse and Dawson in the Yukon. A final plan is to take tge trailer all tge way to the Baja and Mexico. So we figure our current list keeps us busy till we are 70 then we can do up another one!!! We both love your channel and appreciate the great advice for newbie retirees 😂.

    Love your background setting. I have so many favorite spots in Canada but I especially loved the Yukon. I think if I could talk myself into flying to Europe again, I would enjoy a river cruise. I am not a cruiser, but somehow these boats seem smaller and more appealing. I've been to a number of places in Europe France, England, Wales, Ireland, and Rome in Italy, but cruising down the river and stopping daily just seems appealing. PS downloading songs to a flashdrive for my car and the last CD I was just downloading was by Canadian Gordon Lightfoot, love his music.

    I used to travel to Puerto Rico for business regularly and for me, when in San Juan, it is mandatory to go to Old San Juan and eat at the restaurant Marmalade. The White Bean soup there is fabulous. I took my wife to San Juan for a holiday and insisted she have the White Bean soup, she didn't really want soup that night but I insisted. After her first spoonful she looked up and said: "This is the best thing I've ever tasted". It's not cheap to eat at Marmalade but well worth it.

    What a great list of options. Indeed 'waiting' for later one might miss out of realizing many a dream. If possible, start early, small steps is better than no steps at all later. ~While working we were restricted in when our holidays took place. Now we love mid week excluding general holiday time get aways in our own country. Exploring all the provinces and small towns. Prior to major summer holidays we have a 4-5 week holiday plan and one after the major holidays. Not only are the hot spots less busy but the prices lower. I don't have a bucket list - we just do what pops up in our minds regarding places of interest at the time of planning. Great ideas like I said. You've listed lots of options.

Consider visiting less popular destinations like Kanazawa, Takayama, or Nikko. 2. You can also consider visiting these spots on weekdays rather than weekends. 3. if possible, take alternative transportation methods like walking or cycling. 4. Consider booking accommodation in quieter areas, away from the city center or popular tourist destinations.

    I would love to go to Newfoundland. I am told by former residents that it is best to fly to St.John's and then rent a car but that rentals can be hard to get unless you plan far in advance.

    Hey Susan, come to Newfoundland, no need to rent a car. I have two cars, pick one and travel around Newfoundland no charge. I also have another house which is vacant, you can stay there for free. Welcome to Newfoundland and Labrador.

    If you like beaches, Wasaga Beach is the longest freshwater beach in the world. On the way there, Creemore has a couple of nice spots for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. In Tobermory you can find some very fresh pickerel and chip lunches. For more rustic trips the Stewart-Cassier highway, and Dempster highways are great drives, but you have to carry your own gas. Tina can get some action packed videos of Norm wrestling grizzly bears. You'll want to have a back-up driver. Fishing is great and Arctic Grayling can be caught with almost every cast. On the Queen Charlotte Islands you can buy T-shirts that read "Queen Charlotte residents don't tan, they rust"

    We also enjoy longer cruises. We just completed an Atlantic crossing from Europe to the United States for 19 days with a number of stops. Excellent. We have also just booked Cape Town, South Africa to Barcelona 21 days, early next year. This is not a dress rehearsal, it is our main event!

    There is also another way to travel. I bought a camping car 4 years ago. It's fantastic for my way of life. I am solo and was tired of waiting for somebody to travel with. I have food restrictions and sleep issues. The camping car solves that because I'm self-sufficient in those areas. I don't travel far from my home but it's enough for a change of scenery. I finally found my way of travelling.

    If you are thinking trains in Europe - they are wonderful. You can take a Cunard cruise from (I think) New York to Southampton, Great Britain and take trains all over Europe. There is a couple who does KZread videos (Grounded Life Travels) about US train travel, which could give you lots of information.
