Skipper Rico
Iโm on the Retirement trip of a lifetime๐งณ. February 2020, two weeks into my South Pacific/Asia ๐ดsojourn, the world shuts down due to COVID๐ท. I was โstuckโ when New Zealand closed its borders and my air carrier, Fiji Air โ๏ธ was grounded. After 22 months I finally made it โhomeโ to the San Francisco Bay Area. In August 2022 I set out again to Fiji / Tahiti / Marquesas / Cook Islands / NZ for 6 months โฆBut hit another โspeed bumpโ with a serious fall and back fracture in two places, and travel plans were curtailed - but I did proceed and visited all islands.. In September 2023 I set out again on my third voyage to the South Pacific, visiting Fiji, NZ and Australia, returning home safely in March 2024. ๐ November 2024 and Iโve just returned from a short 2 week trip to French Polynesia. Whatโs next? More domestic travel until I can return to the Southern Hemisphere. I may never settle down. Am loving my travels and each day I turn lemons ๐into lemonade. Join me on my adventures -- and mis-adventures! And Remember this: Life is what you choose to make it! Kongaloosh! ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
