No drink No dance

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

When I was younger, I skied, skated, danced, and drank.

Well the drinking I gave up over 30 years ago. No more late-night shenanigans. Dancing has become less frequent because I don’t hang out in places with live music.

The other stuff stopped because frankly if I fall I might have difficulty getting up. It was hard enough in my 40s weighed down with all the winter clothing. But in my 70s I would probably have to roll down the mountain until I found something I could lean on to pull myself up. Not a very pretty picture.

So now I mostly do things that are easy. Walking, water aerobics and kayaking fit in my comfort zone.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
