DOUG’S RETIREMENT TRAVEL BLOG
65: time to hit the road
I retired. Twice. The first time in 2022, without Leslie; the second time in 2024, with her. Maybe this time it’ll stick.
Several discreet trips; each is a category. You can select one below to see it specifically, or just walk through. They're in reverse chronological order.
