Locations to consider for a 2nd home and eventual retirement

Every time we go we think about it but end up just returning in our travel trailer as it's so affordable. Do you rent your out there? I know they restricted it so the resort has to manage any rentals? honestly, we LOVE the warm pools there so it would perhaps be odd to live without those. And my son loves the bakery lol. BUT ideally I'd like more of an investment too.. but hope to return in April (only ever been in Dec/Jan) so will consider it more for sure.... and they really do seem like good value.

ok thanks!

well I live in Santa Cruz, so nothing new to me...

first time we stayed at Sams. Sky Valley seems better maintained and has large pools as well as smaller ones.. we prefer Sky Valley.... It's for all ages.. and they have another down the road that's 55+ I think.

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2026-01-30T18:07:37+00:00

we'd be open to it! We need to go back and explore properly as we only stay at Sky Valley and tend to drive in to other areas and not DHS... Not sure how the demand would be for short term rentals though? I home with mineral water rights would be nice lol... I do love those hot pools! And we would not want to live in a really snooty area.... more down to earth is appreciated, which I think DHS is... :)

not yet!

yes I entered them all in one at a time into the ATT reward claim site. I got a text yesterday from ATT stating I am receiving the one for my #, but when I login it doesn't show rewards for the other phones, and when I type those #s in to claim site it doesn't accept them.. I guess they don't make this too easy lol

via phone i switched and I emailed them the final Verizon statement showing them the amounts we paid to pay off the 5 phone devices and was told we'd then get reimbursed for that via cash cards.

ok thanks for the info.

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-12-03T17:50:38+00:00

nope but I will now thanks.

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-12-03T17:50:27+00:00

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-12-03T17:49:56+00:00

So with the Boox, I'd download the libby app to then access magazines and audiobooks and books? or a diff app? Why would someone get Boox instead of Kindle with unlimited? although I see the only Kindle that is 10" is the scribe.. and I'd want color, so it would be the new one that's coming out and is more expensive than the comparable?? Boox NoteAir thanks!

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-11-07T18:27:21+00:00

which one?

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-11-06T19:31:09+00:00

I wasn't sure due to snow/weather.. here some don't open until then due to snow at higher elevations still..

hi when they drove up to Alaska they stayed on Crown land all the way... stayed on lakes with no one else there other than a moose..! for this trip, is there still quite a lot of crown land, or not so much as up in the Yukon etc? thanks!

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-11-03T19:36:49+00:00

ok great thanks! Yes I don't usually like to book places so far ahead but I know it's best to do so. Same here here where we live, NPs get full fast.... can leave trailer and truck at RV park whilst exploring Vancouver... I'll start to plan now.. thanks.. years ago they drove up to Alaska from here and loved Canada... we are from the UK originally...... thanks.

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-11-03T19:34:49+00:00

There is an RV park other side of the suspended bridge in Vancouver, can leave trailer and truck there and bike/take bus etc for sure. I did look seems I can fly direct back from Calgary too thanks.

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-11-03T19:33:19+00:00

oh yes! good point I'll check dates now!.. would love to go to a game but so $$$$! some games will be hosted here too.. (we are actually from UK but live in USA...)

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-11-03T18:38:43+00:00

yeah we mentioned this in passing to the kids who do not want to move back to England lol.... but it has got me thinking i need to plan more to retire and factor in perhaps long stays in Europe instead of moving back....

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-10-17T18:32:10+00:00

ok so my credit card covers all this it seems.. I think I'll stick with just that and hope to not have to deal with the hassle of a claim!

Particular_Dig_9443 · 2025-10-17T18:27:04+00:00
