When I retired the first time, I planned a 6 1/2 month vacation in Europe. However, my favorite trip was a 16 day small boat trip fromr Budapest to Amsterdam. I enjoy other cruses also.
I am looking for a friend first, which could lead to a more lasting relationship. It has to be someone who is comfortable in themselves.
