We have found out in retirement that there are two types of travelers...one who plans the trips and one who encourages that planner! Curt is definitely the planner and I love being the encourager! However, planning trips can be stressful so many retired people use travel companies to help them take awesome adventures without the stress.  Today we talk to Kate Newland about her travel company and services.

Today we talk to Scott Hirons from Massachusetts and it is an episode you don't want to miss. As a retired person now for over eight years I have found that one of the ways I stay happy is by volunteering in my community. Curt and I know many retirees volunteer much more than we do and we really respect that part of their life's journey. Today's conversation with Scott tells his story...volunteering at a whole new level. Well done, Scott...well done!
