During the planning of the trip of a lifetime to the Banff and Jasper area of Alberta, Canada, we were trying to narrow down what to see as a group to make it a terrific experience. It’s always a good idea to do this when traveling in a “caravan.”

International Travel and Credit Cards
When traveling, it is advisable to have a back-up credit card in case any happens to the first one. Different cards are different. Check them out to determine which set of pro and cons will work the best for your individual situation. Regardless of which card you choose, it is helpful to advise them of your travel plans so your card is not denied when you try to use it in a foreign country.
Best-Life Definition
Living our best life Is not about being rich, popular, or highly educated, but all about being confident in who we are, being strong and self-reliant, and being good friends with generous hearts.
Memories as Mementos
I’ve helped my grandfather move from his home in Texas to a senior living home in New Mexico to a nursing home to heaven. I’ve watched my mom move from her large home in the Albuquerque foothills to an over 55 apartment near me. I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that it’s emotionally exhausting to downsize. And the great lesson is, sometimes stuff is just stuff. But memories last forever.
We’ve STILL Got It!
We are taking the “tired” out of Retired! We are all just too young to retire! Yes, we want to “downsize” into condos or town homes and get a motorhome or fifth-wheel, but Pah-leeze, don’t call it retirement! That equates with old and tired, or sick and tired, and after all, we are just looking forward to traveling, and spending our kids inheritance!
