    Brenda is totally wrong about the ceiling fans, as a retired electrician I can assure you that running them 24/7 is the best thing for them for a multi-decade service life. Snowbirds should definitely leave their ceiling fans running as well as their AC on 78 degrees when they go North.

    Linda is the best she didn’t miss a beat when the phone went off.

    As a guy who would totally consider the "snowbird" lifestyle if we can afford to do it with 2 homes (still working, not retired...probably have 3 or 4 more years), this session was extremely interesting to me. As a Michigan guy, not a big fan of the Wisconsin Badgers, but aside from that, what a delightful couple! Their insights and experiences were very very interesting. Just little things like travel with your golf clubs but leave the bags behind and have a separate bag at each place...brilliant. That move alone opens up significant room in a vehicle. Thanks, Jerry and LInda, for putting this interview together. Awesome content as usual!

    I never laughed so hard as when we saw Linda in "Panic Mode"! Not once...but twice! The first one was the best! LOL! Seriously though, very nicely done. Very informative for people that are thinking about snowbirding. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

    Linda needs to run the 100 meters for the US this summer at the Olympics. That was full speed!

    It’s always nice to see people enjoy their retirement. I’ve seen other people who retired “too late”. Also, as the saying goes, it is not how much you make, it’s how much you spend, especially in younger days. Thank you for another informative and fun video.
