or will be shortly - They fly out of Logan (Boston,Ma) this evening and arrive in Amsterdam about 7AM local time tomorrow. Then they will be taking a "tulip cruise" until the 3rd of May when they invade London via the Chunnel. The 5th they will fly out of Heathrow back to Logan.

I'm *so* glad these two octagenarians have "cut back" on their travels - at least this time they aren't watching the polar bears migrate onto pack ice from a helicopter - or riding zodiac inflatables around the galapogos islands -

Hell ... YES!!!!

It is grand to proclaim US Dollars being inflationally squandered in Euros before the collapse.

Let the rich spend....and then let them spend some more!@!!!

I assume they spend their spare time when they are home helping older people like 2 octagenarian Meals-on-Wheels helpers I met years ago?

As I'm heading to early retirement, I've been reading up on us baby boomer retirees & we'll apparently be doing the same as this pair in a few decades. We will live longer than our parents, be in good health for longer & do all kinds of interesting things include travel & spend money entertaining ourselves!

HAHA! Hearing my parents described as "rich" gave me one of the best belly laughs I've had in a long time. Thanks Gargie!
