There is so much to get into while abroad (now that things have lightened up) or slam click your door, read books you have always wanted to read, catch-up on the sleep you never had, or just continue to try to find the end of the internet. Nothings perfect, but it’s what you make of it.

*In my early fifties myself and life is too short so like Han Solo told Chewbacca when flying amongst the empire fleet - “Keep your distance though, Chewie…but don't look like your tryin' to keep your distance. I don't know…fly casual.”

**Flew with an early retirement due to CVD19 guy from Delta who absolutely is enjoying the globetrotting. He doesn’t need this obviously, but it’s a different world for him. Doubtful he has apps in elsewhere. (but I have been wrong before)
