Flying to the Reservation I was a flying doctor going out to the Apache Reservations. Up at 5am, airport at 6:15 am, up and away at sunrise in King Air 200 and Barrons aircraft. Home by 5pm.

Our most memorable activities in London were two Andrew Loyd Webber musicals. My kids still talk about them today. My second most fun thing is getting a Brit Rail Pass. Ours was three weeks long, and we used it for one week in London. Lots of things to see and do!

I never felt like I was camping on board my catamaran. I felt like I was home. My boat is 39 feet long and 21 feet wide, and with two hulls, there is separation of accommodations with four different sleeping cabins. Not a huge amount of room, and it is a minimalist lifestyle, but we had...

Living on board a catamaran is about the same amount of work that it takes to live anywhere. If you live in a house that is in a poor state of repair, you will have to put lots of work into the house. If you get a boat in a poor state of repair, it will be a lot of work to get it up to speed...

I lived overseas for 28 years, and I am comfortable with the health care that I received while I was outside CONUS. It was always affordable and the medications are much less expensive. The problem for retired people is that medicare does not work out of the USA. As far as I am concerned, an...

Caring happens at many different levels. At this point in my life, I am not looking for validation for the choices that I make and how I spend my time. But I care about the impact I have on other people. It's important to help make the world a better place, and if that is caring, then I am all...

Here in Arizona, ATT coverage is good along interstates in most areas, but once you get off the beaten path, it is slow to non-existent in the areas I travel.

[mod edit] When I was working, I felt like I needed to give something back to the world, but you can imagine how much it cost for all those domains and sites. Instead of spending over $10,000 a year on the sites, I hope to back it down to a couple of thousand - maybe something like $2000. I...

It's a Privilege 39 catamaran from Jeantot Marine. It's an excellent trade wind sailing machine, and has always been safe offshore. I sailed on the first Manta 40 in Coconut Grove,Florida when they were just starting up production. I seriously considered purchasing one as they were a robust...

I am a retired physician, and I have no idea what is the best thing to do about health insurance when you are retired. I would think that my work in the health care industry would give me the inside track on how best to decide about health insurance, but such is not the case. Health insurance...

Hi, I am Dave. I just retired Friday after working for ten years as a flying doctor with the Indian Health Service in the American Southwest. Although we had 23 tribes in our service area, I mainly worked with the Navajo, Apache, Hopi, Hualapai, and Havasupai tribes.I am actually an...
