FRIDAY, 6/26/15

Today was a usual day in the life of the newly retired. We ate, we swam, we slept. That is all.

Actually, we did move from the villa we’ve been in, over to one of the “beach villas.” It’s the upgrade that wasn’t available when we checked in Wednesday. It’s not actually on the beach, but has a great view. We are enjoying the pure relaxation. It’s beginning to hit us that we don’t have to rush home to anything. We can take our time, and get things done, when we feel like it. I’m sure there’ll be a sense of urgency at some point, but it’s sure not now.

SATURDAY, 6/27/15

No sense of urgency yet. Just enjoying another day in the tropical breezes. I did walk up the road about a half-mile to a small store for some snacks and soft drinks. The prices were much cheaper offsite.

I have been getting a chance to swim in the lap pool every day. It nice to look up when I breath and see palm trees and blue sky, rather than the dingy roof I always saw in the pool area back in Beijing.
