Retirement has given us the freedom to pursue our travel dreams, and we’re seizing every opportunity to explore. With a lifetime of dreams, challenges, and a good dose of spontaneity, we’re setting off on journeys that keep life exciting.

It all began in early 2023 when our daughter Tracie asked, “What’s next on your travel bucket list?” At the time, we’d already booked an 11-day Baltic cruise and planned trips to our favorite spots like Avon, Park City, and Solana Beach. But in a flash of inspiration, I said, “Maybe it’s time for an African safari.” Teresa heard me from the other room and was instantly on board.
