That's why I touched foot on all seven continents in my 30s.  I knew it wouldn't be as appealing in my 70s.[/quote]

Ha! My mom just climbed Kilamanjaro at 61. She travels all over the place, like crazy destinations. There are no cruises or all inclusive stays for her. She's done the Andes in Peru, China, hardly a country in Europe she hasn't touched, all over Alaska last summer, including hiking Denali, and is currently making her way all around Africa.

I have a vacation home. It actually breaks even, as we also rent it out part time. Not much to manage as we have a management company that handles all upkeep. Basically we break even after all is said and done.

For the vacation home, our biggest fans are our kids. They absolutely love it there are are building incredible memories. It certainly is not for everyone because it can be very expensive.  However, if I couldn't make money off it and I had to choose between vacations or 2nd home, it would be vacations.[/quote]
