Today we meet friends Cherie Pinkerton and Lori Foulds from Manitoba, Canada! These two travel buddies met through work and found out that they share a passion in exploring new places! Curt and I met them on our bike and sail trip through Croatia and felt they would be the perfect pair to talk to about the amazing trip we all experienced! (We even talk about the one scary time that I almost bit the dust right in front of Cherie going up a very steep mountain pass as a tour bus passes us!) It is such a thrill when you meet new friends with common travel and retirement goals!

Do you consider yourself a "foodie"?  Curt and I definitely love a good meal, but if it doesn't involve meat and potatoes or peanut butter and jelly...Curt tends turn up his nose.  I, on the other hand, love to try new foods and love almost any type of cuisine.  In today's episode we meet Martin.  Martin and his wife love trying new foods and especially love experiencing the  restaurants near his home in London.  Let's learn about his wonderful retirement visiting and tasting his way thorough Mayfair's Michelin's and other famous restaurants!

Today we talk to Yvette and learn how she is grabbing retirement by the horns and riding it for all it's worth. She even has her own website and date to "Seize the Day". We think we could all learn somethings from this "Go Getter"!

Meet Dawn Whitley!  We had such a great conversation with her about her "passion" in retirement, her daylilies! Dawn has embraced daylily gardening with a zest just as she did her career as an engineer at the Campbells Soup Company.  If you are like me, (Cindy), gardening is a favorite hobby in retirement and it isn't always easy.  There is so much to learn to be successful and produce beautiful flower beds.  I hope you enjoy learning about her passion as much as I did.

Africa is a dream vacation for many of us!  Curt and I are already scoping out African safari vacations in anticipation for a once in a lifetime trip in our near future.  Africa is a wild wonderland for vacation thrill seekers such as our guest today Ellen Gleitman Luchette and her husband.  Their adventure was full amazing  events and sites.  You'll want to listen clear to the end to hear their adventure coming home! Thanks for the inspiration Ellen! I can hardly wait to see the elephants and the African Serengeti!

Happy Birthday to us!!!  Yes, it happens every year!  We celebrated our birthdays just three days apart with another great adventure!  This time New York City!  This new tradition (it is  now a tradition if we have done it twice, right?)  is a fun time for us both!  We believe every year should be celebrated in retirement as so many of our friends and family didn't get this experience.  Our retirement motto of "don't sit too soon"  is what motivates us! Have you visited NYC?  This episode is all about THE BIG APPLE and all the fun times we had there.  Happy Birthday Curt!  PS ... I'm still the boss because I'm three days older!

Have you had the chance to fulfill one of your bucket list adventures yet?  As a retired person we have the time and hopefully the resources to do just that....and the list is endless!  In this episode we meet educator Rick Brant who is set to retire in the next few years.  We salute his career of 30 years as an special education educator and are excited for you to listen to his great pre-retirement adventure as an "elephant whisperer"!   If this adventure is his standard...we can't wait to hear about all of the ones he has planned when he retires in three years.
