Filling the Bucket List

Never heard of the book, but will get a copy...We completed two Road Scholar activity programs - cross country skiing in Vermont and kayaking in Virginia. Age range 60s+, most early 70s (I bet the tour-only, less active trips skew older)...We are not Florida fans, but my son now lives there. We will be down in January and might do the Everglades biking trip. You will have a great time whatever you decide to do, so go for it!

I spent a few days in Orlando, Florida in January 1975 and it was in the low 60s during the day. I remember jumping into the pool and jumping right out because it was so cold. Lol.

Last August, I spent a few days in Miami. It was more pleasant.

Here in Hawaii, the temperature can dip into the 50s in January. I consider it to be the coldest month here, and September the hottest.

I actually mainly agree with b to a point. If its thirty five or forty here and a high of sixty in Dallas....now Houston in Christmas will be different. Im looking at Road Scholar for the spring so I'll be interested in your review, especially
The single aspect.

I say, travel and do whatever is new and appealing, as long as health and money are good. You'll never have a better time to enjoy yourself.

I got traveling out of my system when I was younger. Glad I did. Have a trip planned for a week from now and feel ambivalent about it. I keep telling myself, it's not apprehension you feel, it's excitement... Yeah right.

A good looking, sixty year old man, traveling alone in Florida?

Nope. Not for long.

B should seriously reconsider.

My wife still works but fortunately her job doesn't interfer with our traveling. Our bucket list is getting smaller and smaller but there are a few more places we'd like to see.

My sister lives in Florida and I really enjoy visiting here when the weather is at its worst here in the Pacific Northwest. I can relate. :-)

I have just decided that if I am part of a couple I will be sure to talk to the single guy or gal!
