I moved to Florida where I now live via a six month meandering trip in my 22 foot sailboat with a companion. I'm married. No kids. Two pets. Glad I did things important to me when I could, since ME/CFS took me to the mat in 1990. Don't say 'I'll do it when I retire'. That opportunity may not come again.
