  6. Betty – Hello, I am Betty, the author of this blog, and this is my husband, Dan. I retired on 6/30/2018, and Dan retired about a year later, on 5/31/2019. Now that we are both retired, we plan to travel most often in our 23FBKS Micro Lite travel trailer. We also hope to travel other ways occasionally, such as taking a cruise, a roadtrip, perhaps a tour someday. In addition to travel, we like to walk, ride bikes, read, and play Scrabble. I love to write. This blog chronicles our travels in retirement. My purpose in writing this blog is: 1) to offer insight for those who may be making similar trips/adventures in the future 2) to share our adventures with family and friends who care to read and 3) to capture the memories for us. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. I hope it is uplifting, gives you a few smiles and maybe an idea or two. Comments are very much appreciated, and I will respond to all. Thank you for reading, and Happy Travels!

    Awww… Here, I’ve never figured out which is top kitty. Back in her day, Luna flat out ignored Tilly and Jezebel. And it’s the same today where Dandelion doesn’t care much for the younger sisters. ~shrugs~ I cannot imagine a life without cats since Luna waltzed into my heart. Be well!

      They sure do waltz into our hearts. We’re happy ours picked us to be their slaves. 🙂
