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 […]

Lions, Tigers, and Bears! Not in Kansas anymore!

Well, today I woke up with what seems like a routine now of clearing the lungs of mucus from overnight. Since bringing a respiratory infection with me to Mexico, it is something I go through every morning now. My lungs seem to clear as the morning passes. Hopefully, it will stop completely in a few […]

Lion Fish Tacos

It’s just been a little over a week since I’ve landed in the jungles of the Yucatan and I’ve seemed to have brought a cold with me. I woke up still feeling under the weather today, so decided to stay at the compound for the day. Nothing exciting happened and I spent the day reading, […]

Internet Connections in the Yucatan Jungle

After a weekend of convalescing and feeling a little better, I decided to get out and about as well as investigate an internet service provider alternative. Where I’m located I can pick up other secured wifi signals, so I thought I would go to Playa Wireless’s main office and discuss what options they offered. First, […]

One Nomad’s Early Observations

Today, I woke up with a full blown head cold (upper respiratory infection) feeling like crap. Sore throat, cough, congested, head and body aches. Feeling bad in a foreign country is a little disconcerting, but I do have local contacts (property managers) that would ensure if my condition got worse they would get me the […]

Getting Mobile When You’re Nomadic

Many times when you’re nomadic you may come across housing accommodations that may include the use of a vehicle. While staying near Akumal, Quintana Roo, MX at Rancho Amor, I had such an opportunity to use the owner’s vehicle that was stored in a palapa. Below is my account of “getting mobile”. The evening before, I was […]

Staying Connected When Going Nomadic

One of the important things when going nomadic is being able to get connected to the internet to allow communications to friends and family after leaving the States. Recently, I had to acquire access while staying in a somewhat remote area just north of Akumal, Quintana Roo, MX. Being so remote I had very limited […]

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 […]
