Plan B was Plan A until about five years ago.
The plan was to move overseas, beginning by spending three months at a time at each place on my 'short list' to go, unless I found 'the' place before I'd completed all my travels.
This was to begin immediately upon retirement, at the end of January, 2016.
What happened was, one night in 2014, I had one of my dreams that cause me to change my thinking. I woke up with the realization that things were too good, right where I was, to leave. At that point, Plan A turned into Plan B. The new Plan A was to continue enjoying my life in Syracuse.
This morning I woke up feeling like it was time to implement Plan B.
I will begin traveling through the remainder of my list, having already eliminated Chiang Mai and Lisbon, shortly after Thanksgiving, 2020.
There are currently three places left on my list (Cuenca, Ecuador; Medallin, Colombia; and a TBD location in Mexico). I will be visiting Cuenca for a month next February, so if it hasn't sung out to me as 'the' place, my first stop will be Medallin.
I'm grateful just to be in a position where I have a plan.
