At 45 and 47-year-old nomads, it’s sometimes hard to find our place…not only in the world, but amongst the ages. We live sandwiched in between two travel varieties…the more traditionally or early retired 50/60-somethings, who seemingly have unlimited funds… and the digi nomads, and/or ambitious, experience-driven and childless millennials, and Gen Z’s.  We can relate a bit to both, but…

From San Salvador to Concepcion de Ataco We had just nine days in El Salvador to work with. Por que? The reason is a marvelous “privilege” of US Citizenry….Greg unfortunately has (deferred) jury duty he couldn’t get out of when we return in late March.

Heading due south from Miami, one of most unfamiliar things about flying into…
