The Nomadic Retiree

One man's perceptions on wandering this blue marble.

Visiting Akumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico

We’re back on track again weather wise. Woke to a gorgeous day of sunshine, mild breezes, and temperatures in the 70’s. Probably should explore some today, but first a dip in the pool. Just saw the water delivery guys go by. They are a lot earlier this week. Better note that for the next time […]

Going Nomadic Outside the US

My last day January 8th, 2013 in US began very early (4:15 am Eastern). I just woke up for some reason. I knew I needed to be up at 5:00 am but for some reason just woke up early. I did try to get back to sleep, but I knew that was pointless. So I […]
