As a wee lad, we traveled a lot with my father's business. Between 1951 and 1960 we had family households in, Havana, Caracas, London, Brussels, Marseilles, and Casablanca. After Casablanca my mom had had enough.
In my adult life I've been to Canada (I live in Upstate NY, not much of a trip, I concede), Costa Rica (twice), USVI (3 times), Puerto Rico, Australia, Tahiti, and Italy (also 3 times). My last trip to Italy was in 2011, and being there was great, but the travel back and forth was hell, entirely due to US Airways. I don't plan on going back to Europe, but I'd never say "never", I guess.
At this stage in my life, and with the way airlines cram us all in and treat us like cattle, I'm not enthused. Maybe...someday....probably...
Think about a transatlantic repositioning cruise. They are great value and very relaxing, if you have the time. Which, as a retiree, you do!
