As we are approaching our retirement years, we talk from time to time about how we can best afford to retire.  We keep hearing about how many people we know seem to manage to move to other countries where the American dollar is strong and they can live like kings on less money than we are using to live very modestly.  Some of of friends tell us that they can afford nice homes in Retirement Communities in Mexico AND hired help to tend the lawns and clean their houses, and they have less money coming in than we do!

One of our friends, Jeff sent me the link to one of the Mexico Retirement Communities spots that he is thinking about buying that is oceanfront property on Banderas Bay.  I was checking it out; it is an American developed community of resort apartments in towers that are on the west coast of Mexico.  I was viewing the pictures on the tour, and the place looks absolutely spectacular!

Jeff has invited us to fly out there with him and his wife to check out some Retirement Communities Mexico.  He has offered to pay all of our expenses to go with them.  How can we refuse an offer like that?  So now my wife and I have to pull out our calendars and see when would be a good time to go out there.  I’m going to want to do some research about the climate and see if there is a better time to go, or any time to avoid. 

I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, and this seems like a great opportunity to do just that!

I was so pleased to notice today that when I was driving into town the daffodils are blooming in many yards.  I love daffodils; to me they are the harbingers of spring.  I know that crocus and hyacinths are supposed to be that but it seems that I just don’t see them anywhere!  I’ve noticed that some flocks of birds are flying north overhead and it makes me realize that the long cold winter is finally over.  Spring is officially more than a week away, but all the signs are there.  I think the groundhog was wrong, and an early spring is here!
