about this blog

It’s hard to believe we’re about to begin our 3rd summer of retirement travel in Europe. Many of the basics - financial, medical, technology, furniture, etc. - are already in place, so we can concentrate on Collioure, our European friends, our Key West friends who also summer in France, and our travels. 

All of the prior articles remain on this blog, so there are many details about topics and problems which were very important in 2006 and 2007. We’ll be pleased to answer any questions you have on any of these topics, but new postings will not repeat what we’ve reported before.

How this blog is organized …

categories … our posts are organized by categories, which are listed in the right hand column. Clicking the category will bring forward all of the posts in that category, in reverse chronological order.

There is also a page titled * INDEX TO POSTINGS BY CATEGORY which gives a convenient list of all the post titles.  

search … Another way to find topics of interest is to use the search function. For example, type in a search term, such as “Budapest,” and all of the posts which contain the word Budapest will appear.

links (blogroll) … We have included links to some of the sites mentioned in our posts in the ‘blogroll’ in the lower right section of our Home Page. More links can be found by clicking on ‘other home exchange sites’ in the upper right section of our Home Page. We welcome additional reciprocal links to other blogs and sites where there is a mutual interest. Just contact us to make arrangements.

feedback … We welcome comments, suggestions, and questions, especially if we have been unclear about a topic of interest to you, or if you can add something we’ve overlooked.
