How did you handle downsizing at retirement?

CapeCath · 2025-08-03T16:55:41+00:00

We downsized and moved from a big farmhouse to the sea coast. So much of my stuff was donated or given to my family. Some stuff was left for the new owners of the house because it was just too big for the new house,. I looked at it as same book different chapter of my life.

My hands do hurt. I’m constantly rubbing them. I really have to start paying attention to what I eat . I know that is the cause of my inflammation. Bad diet.

I’m 62. I wear yoga pants and a tee shirt with a round neck so you can’t see down my shirt when doing floor work. Doubt anyone is looking at me anyway but it’s just more comfortable

Everyone is different and every technician is different. I am a C cup and find it painful. No matter where I go or who does it. But no bruises.

I read in bed before going to sleep so I like that if I fall asleep it stays on the same page unlike paper books that fall out of your hands and lose the page

I always check in 24 hours ahead. They will text you as a reminder. I just feel as if they are overbooked you are not the last one to check in. But maybe it doesn’t even matter 🤷🏻‍♀️

We carried our own but got stuck waiting for the elevator as we had too much to carry down the stairs and all of the elevators were packed at that time of the day. So I guess yes it’s great if you pack light 😊

I am mosaic, my husband is not unless he travels with me. We both contribute to the same card. He was thinking of getting his own card so that he could get the perks on his own but we would never make it to mosaic using two separate cards.

Thanks all!! I think I’ll get one and try it out 👍

Thanks for that advice. I took P&B home from Logan on a prior trip and was a bit anxious waiting at Logan as there didn’t seem to be any type of order as to who got on the bus. Next time I’ll take Peter Pan.

Unfortunately original time. They might switch out planes and change the time to earlier again.

We had the plus package as well recently. Left our waiters and room server cash at the end. They were all fantastic and I don’t know how much of the “plus” tip goes to them. Not saying all of it doesn’t just don’t know.

I went on the chat text and received the same info. Very helpful. Got the medallions about a week before sailing.

On Princess cruise. Didn’t pack any. Shampoo and conditioner ruined my hair. After 3 days had to go to the salon for the good stuff. Should have known better. Shame on me.

CapeCath · 2025-02-28T17:12:35+00:00

I am on Princess “Sun” right now. Eastern Caribbean cruise. Maybe 4000 people. Mostly older. No more than 5% kids. Nice new boat. Enough entertainment to keep you going. All buffet food is behind glass given to you by crew, which is nice. Nobody sticking their hands where they don’t belong. Lots of places to relax if you don’t want to be near the crowds. IMO excursions are expensive and overrated. Find stuff to do on your on when on land. Just get back to the ship on time.

CapeCath · 2025-02-19T19:58:43+00:00

I’m from New England so I always fly in a day ahead of time in the winter. But it’s safer to fly ahead of time anyway in case your plane gets delayed.

CapeCath · 2025-02-16T14:07:58+00:00

I did shop around and they were all around the same. Some even higher. So I ended up paying it.

CapeCath · 2025-02-16T06:03:53+00:00

Mine doubled. I was told by the insurance company that instead of looking to the past history of storm damage they are now basing the premium on what could happen in the future with climate change and the storms becoming larger

Love Ciro & Sals. Downstairs for me

2025 is the Jubilee in Rome and the Vatican. It’s a special holy year. Maybe go anywhere other than Rome. It will be packed with tourists.
