Having gone through, what you are about to, I can offer some real advice.

You will go through some interesting times, strive to keep an open mind. Where ever you visit, always search out like minded individuals. Almost every town has a VFW (If you're not a member, join now, they welcome people like us.)

Talk to old people! Ask them how their feet are! Don't rush. Get up early, and take an afternoon nap. The best travel time is before rush hour! Take a camera everywhere and use it. Log on to X-Marks in out-of-the-way spots, and keep us informed!

Good luck!
