We just celebrated the completion of our fourth year of retirement.  It is interesting to look back and see the changes in our style of travels during those 4 years.  We began with a busy pace of moving every few days and covered 11,000 miles that first year.  It was a blast and we loved every minute of our hurried pace.

By the second year we slowed our pace to 6,000 miles but still moved every few days.  I still had the itch to see what was around the next corner, but we did our travel days with far fewer miles.

The third year during our time in Mexico we began planning our travels around the world away from the motorhome.  The financial benefits of spending 5 to 6 months in Mazatlan meant that  we had money left over when we finished our stay there.  It was time to visit Europe for 3 months.  We came back dead tired and realized that there was a limit to our energy.  RV'ing that third summer was at an even slower pace.

This year we continued our travels (still left over money from our Mexican winter) to Central America.   As I sit here recovering from our busy Spring my plan is to go slower next year.

The only problem I can see with my "Go Slow" plan is that my mind and my body don't always agree.  My body is telling me that I am 66 and I need to use a little common sense.  My mind is already planning the next six months adventures.

We'll see who wins..... mind or body???
