We are a retired couple in our early 60's who have done quite a bit of travelling and still have the bug. Jim was a Human Resource Supervisor for the Manitoba electrical co. while Marilyn was a registered nurse (both took early retirement). We both golf, play bridge, hike and particularily enjoy getting together with friends.
Some of the places we have visited include: Fiji, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Cuba, Zimbabwee, Spain, Portugal, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, most of the United States and almost all of Canada.
In the winter of 2010 we completed a very successful exchange in Portugal.
We look forward to an exchange (may be non-simultaneous) with like minded travellers.
