This is the best time to devote time to yourself and travel. My husband and I also recently retired, and decided to take a tour from Sam @ Samsoutdoors.co.uk to visit another country. This is great, England and its attractions hidden from the eyes of tourists inspired us to buy a mobile home. We took everything with us, so as not to forget anything and not to spend the night in just a sedan. The only thing that I will advise is to take an adapter that will fit any foreign outlet. You can take a universal or a specific type of outlet used in another country.
