Iโ€™m on the Retirement trip of a lifetime๐Ÿงณ. February 2020, two weeks into my South Pacific/Asia ๐ŸŒดsojourn, the world shuts down due to COVID๐Ÿ˜ท. I was โ€œstuckโ€ when New Zealand closed its borders and my air carrier, Fiji Air โœˆ๏ธ was grounded. After 22 months I finally made it โ€œhomeโ€ to the San Francisco Bay Area. In August 2022 I set out again to Fiji / Tahiti / Marquesas / Cook Islands / NZ for 6 months โ€ฆBut hit another โ€œspeed bumpโ€ with a serious fall and back fracture in two places, and travel plans were curtailed - but I did proceed and visited all islands.. In September 2023 I set out again on my third voyage to the South Pacific, visiting Fiji, NZ and Australia, returning home safely in March 2024. ๐Ÿ˜‰ November 2024 and Iโ€™ve just returned from a short 2 week trip to French Polynesia. Whatโ€™s next? More domestic travel until I can return to the Southern Hemisphere. I may never settle down. Am loving my travels and each day I turn lemons ๐Ÿ‹into lemonade. Join me on my adventures -- and mis-adventures! And Remember this: Life is what you choose to make it! Kongaloosh! ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ
