Bonus if you tell your story. 😊

Spouse and I (Americans) pick a different region of the world to spend January through May every year. We are retired, budget-minded, slow-travelers who like to spend a chunk of time in one location, move on if we want, or stay if we like it. We have a small dog.

This winter we are considering Italy, the Balkans, and possibly Northern Africa (Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal). Not every country. Just go where it looks promising at the time.

Flights to Italy in January are significantly reduced from the USA to Italy. Would it be a good decision to fly in to Italy (Naples or south of there) and move around the region from there? Or should we bite the bullet and fly to Senegal or Tunisia which would be a lot more expensive and travel north from there? What are the major airlines of that area, and does it have a major airline hub in the area. I know ferries are prominent but could be rough that time of year.

Did you sign up for Medicare? Buy a car? Rent an apartment? Get the first job you could find?

That is all.

I feel like I am at a party filled with really interesting people. No cell phones or social media. I enjoy remembering. Thank you. 😊
