𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞. So— last week was a real ohmigosh time for me as Dutchie wasn’t feeling well for 2 days. We weren’t going out except for our regular food run every 2 weeks.

Top 10 Experiences for Beyond 50 Couples When Traveling to a City for the 1st Time
What do we, quinquagenarians or midlife travelers 50 years old and above, prefer to see when traveling?
