You Decide Retirement Guide

So I got a text from the airline at 1130 pm last night saying our initial flight to Dallas was canceled. With no other way to make connection we drove the 280 miles to the Seattle airport. Upon check in the agent told us unless we had relatives in Italy we could not go. I showed her the docs from the airlines website showing we were good to go but she didn’t care. Finally she called a number and they told her we were good. Next stop Dfw. Hopefully those agents waive us through . So tired. 🤓

Went online to fill out the EU PLF (Passenger Locator Form). Put in flight Info. Had a couple questions I was unsure of because of the wording. But did my best. Submitted and received a QR code via email that I will need to show at some point during the trip. Also was asked to book covid test to be taken upon arrival in Italy. Says credit card or debit payment required but didn’t see a place to pay in advance so hopefully we will be ok to pay upon arrival. Got an email response saying our tests were booked but not given a time or details so again acting with a bit of faith that it all works out. Today I’m booking the pre flight covid tests that must be taken within 48 hours of departure to Italy. More updates in next day or so. 😊

We have researched all over Mexico, but recently we have focused on the Balkans in Europe. Albania has great foreign ownership laws and affordable costs overall. A quick flight from several cruise ports, makes it a personal favorite of mine. Many places in Albania offer an affordable option for retirement or those who can work abroad.

Don’t be frustrated and find yourself falling further away from your retire abroad dreams. Use this time to research and kickstart your plans.
