YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

https://www.retirementtravelers.com This is our retirement and we will show you where to go in 2022. Our next early retirement travel stop was an Anchorage, Alaska weekend getaway. Alaska was our 49th visited state and one of our travel goals was to visit all 50 states. We flew into Anchorage and stayed at a downtown hotel. The Alaska Railroad was a block away and was perfect for a day trip to Whittier and a boat ride on the Glacier Quest to see glaciers in Blackstone Bay. There are so many things to do in Alaska. The next day we did another first by trying the Segway Tours of Anchorage. We learned to ride Segways and rode around the downtown Anchorage area for over 2 hours.

But, that is what we did! We work hard every day to become better and create something that others will enjoy. Having a community of friends, old and new, follow our journey is fun and exciting to us. In 2019, we achieved our goal of visiting every state in the union in our Airstream. We also visited every national park in the lower 48. We are big believers in lists, so of course we plan to see the remaining 12 parks in the next few years. In 2021, we made the big decision to extreme downsize to just a suitcase and a small backpack, each. We started our journey around the world beginning in Central America. We hope that over the next ten years, we will have seen many beautiful things, made many memories and new friends, and shared the experience with our children and grandchildren. We hope you enjoy the journey with us. Drop us a note in the comments and be sure to hit subscribe! ๐Ÿ—บ ๐ŸŽฅ ๐ŸŒฎ
