Travel is a top priority for many retirees, but navigating costs, destinations, and logistics can be overwhelming. Kim shares expert advice on how to make the most of your travel budget, plan bucket-list trips, and find options for solo travelers. https://youtu.be/mB6wTNI16BM Key Takeaways: Start Planning Early – Booking in advance can help secure better pricing and spread out payments. Budgeting for Travel – A $10,000 annual travel budget can cover one big European trip or multiple smaller trips.

Bucket-List Trips – Destinations like African safaris, Antarctica, and Australia/New Zealand are popular among retirees. Health & Safety Considerations – Travel insurance is crucial, especially for medical coverage and emergency evacuations. Tourism Trends & Challenges – Some destinations are experiencing pushback from locals due to over-tourism and short-term rentals.

Episode 367: Gladiator   It is time to take a break from season two's of television. This week we go back in time to the year 2000 to discuss the Ridley Scott classic Gladiator starring Russel Crowe and Joaquin Pheonix. It was definitely wonderful to take a look back at such a classic early 2000's film. It really feels like they don't make movies like this anymore. This movie is old hat for David as he saw this film back when it opened in theaters and for Brian this was his very first viewing of this film. Thank you History Buffs youtube who made a great background on the historical context of this film as David references History Buffs to make this more than just a basic talk about the film we have some real history discussion as well.
