Description

This book is "an overseas journey that will warm your heart and make you smile." After early retirement, in 2017 Pam and her husband Dave packed four suitcases and one beer cooler full of insulin and boarded a one-way flight to Italy for a year-long dream trip. The dream was to live like locals, find out-of-the-way restaurants, and watch the seasons change. But behind every dream, there is the reality. Their journey came with challenges-homesickness, managing Pam's Type 1 diabetes, dodging political unrest in Barcelona, and navigating water restrictions in Egypt. Despite the challenges, along the way, they find a little adventure.
