Retiredtimetocruise - Videos description on YouTube:

We are a retired Canadian couple who like sharing our travel experiences with others. We especially enjoy meeting people on our travels and including them in our fun. This is our introduction to the world. We invite people to join us in person or virtually via watching these videos as we take this first 71 day DIY world cruise to celebrate our retirement and the launch of our YouTube channel. We will be discussing how to plan, pack, organize, shore excursions and most importantly enjoy Retied Time to Cruise. Please subscribe, like and comment.
