can't think of anything else. I actually rather like boring.
You don't have to wait for a haunted house. We have already seen the ghost in a Wyndham timeshare in Sapphire Valley. It was condo #2147 in the Mountain Laurel condos. My husband and I both saw him at different times. He was friendly but wanted his privacy back and wanted us gone.

And as for adventure, a road trip is more dangerous than sky diving. We are doing three road trips this year. Two have already happened. So far we have traveled about 5000 miles.

Talk about adventure: http://www.fulltimetimeshare.com/ This couple has moved every week for two years. I think they win the most enduring couple award. After two weeks I am ready to be back home.

I am still trying to get my husband into the idea of traveling to and from our timeshare by using RCI last calls and spending a week each time we advance 300 miles instead of a day. That would be travel 300 miles and stay a week, then 300 more miles and stay a week. That way it would take about two months to go on a trip instead of two weeks. I hate staying in hotels. We have found that we can usually depend on going about 50 miles per hour on average. You check out of our condos before 10 A. M. and check into the next one at about 4 P. M. That leaves time to travel around 300 miles between condos.

Since we are getting older we tend to relax more on vacation and see less. We usually do about one thing a day where when we were younger we would do two or three adventures per day.

My mind says yes to a lot of these ideas. My arthritis says no.

Can you jog in those? I miss running. After knee surgery from degeneration due to running (multiple tears and fraying) doc warned me that I would be back before long if I started running again. Now having similar issues in shoulders (surgery on one but not "all better") and have enough other joints giving me some trouble that it is obviously systemic. I am not sure I want to start replacing things. I would feel differently if I just had one or two specific joints giving me trouble. I am now leaning toward figuring out what my limits are and figuring out what I can do that is exciting and/or interesting within those limits instead of pushing them.
