    Where did you lose the three umbrellas? (There are so may possibilities!)

    I agree especially with #2 and #9. Travel buys you more hours in every day if you take advantage of the time to explore and learn. And yes, America has lost much in the eyes of those abroad ( not just at home) and it is frightening for everyone. Very troublesome.
    We too take multiple portable chargers for everything (Apple devices, toothbrushes, razor). And we bring a small French press for coffee when on the sailboat, tent camping and often when traveling using home exchange or AirBnB. All good advice! Thanks for taking the time to add this last post. It’s been quite a ride and I enjoyed it very much!

      For sure, being either a sailor (Louis) or a camper (Doris) is outstanding training for living on the road. Thanks for joining us on the road, Cynthia, and we look forward to following you on the water.

    So much great information. Mike and I have a bucket list of travel that we hope to accomplish in the next three years. Your postings on your grand adventure were both entertaining and very helpful. Welcome home!

      Given how much travel you and Mike have already done, I would love to see that bucket list! We are finding the more we travel, the deeper the bucket gets because the more we see and experience, the more we discover still needs to be seen and experienced.

    So what I’m interest in knowing now. . . . .How did you manage everything with each other? What stressors emerged and how did you handle them? Did you ever get tired and want to throw in the towel? How did you manage good spirits, good will, AND prepare your posts? In other words, I’d love to know more about your personal experiences on this adventure. Welcome back!! Truly appreciate your travelog! xxoo

      A lot of people have asked these questions, Gwenn. We will tuck them away for now and answer with some other questions in a post.
