Aw thank you Lena! We use Eye Buy Direct (online) for our prescription glasses. There are quite a few other online options out there too. As long as you have a frame you like and can take measurements of that physical frame, it’s quite easy to determine your size online.

You’re welcome AG! Yea for the pool we figure let’s just get it when we will use it most. It also adds a bit of anticipation leading up to winter. Like “oooo it’s almost pool time!”

Thank you Elizabeth!

Will post soon about Portugal and for sure will write another post after we’ve returned with some insight. The national health care system there is definitely a reason many American retirees look to move there. Prices definitely have gone up over the last few years but still affordable for Americans when you look at the difference in health care costs.
