Glad you and your wife are doing well. Nice that you rekindled the FL getaway bug.

imoldernu - Thank you so much for this thread. I am still making my way through all the posts. Your wisdom is an incredible gift to those of us starting down this path. I feel like a fly on the wall of your life, soaking up your lessons. You are an awesome teacher.
I'd also like to hear more on the memory issues and how you have dealt with them- How others could have helped you along the way and anything you are doing differently to plan for the future.
Blessings to you and your family.
Thank You for sharing!

I have read that by age 80 most people no longer want to travel. Even my Mom who loved traveling slowed down and traveled less the last 10 years of her life. Also she had 4 bouts of cancer that ruined some of her travel plans. I think the last trip she took she was 84. By the time she was in her late 70's she wanted to stay in 1 place when traveling. It was just too hard to pack up that suitcase daily. WE are 61 and 56 and have been traveling the last few years and plan to continue while we can. I had a good friend die at 59, another at 67, one in nursing home at 64 and another headed that way at age 63. We just never know what is in store for each of us. So glad in your 8th decades things continue to go well. NOt all states take away your drivers license when you get diagnosed with dementia. My friend did not lose hers until her hubby & friends decided she was no longer safe to drive. WE asked the doctor about it and he said we could decide instead of him.

Definitely glad to hear you are still in relatively good health and back with us. Always like to see your well thought out posts regardless of the length. I bet that was quite exciting getting back to your home in Florida.
