Hi {{Name|Fellow Traveler}},

I hope you had a good week. Thank you for reading my work each week. I have some new readers, so welcome.

Last night I was super tired, so I didn’t finish the newsletter. I also wanted to finish the hotel review, so sorry for the delay.

Read the entire newsletter, please, as I have a gem further down :-).

The story about what to do if traveling to the Middle East was the most popular from last week, as travelers look for information. You can read it here if you missed it.

Travel is not too bad this week domestically — Spring Break has started, but it will get worse next week as it kicks into gear in more places. Travel to Asia is up, though, as spring and cherry blossom season draw both tourists and nonrevs chasing those long-haul seats.

We didn’t have electricity or phone service when I grew up in the mountains of St. Elizabeth. Lamps were the order of the day, and you learned to get your most important work done before the sun dipped behind the hills. It was our way of life, and we made it work. I think this is why I’m not a happy camper now :-). Although I’ve been on a camping safari.

But today, months after Hurricane Melissa tore through, that "old way of life" has returned to St. Elizabeth—not by choice, but by necessity. One of the residents I’m in touch with has to walk to his parents' house just to charge his phone so he can stay connected to the world.

I’ve set a goal to raise $1,000 by midweek to keep us moving. Every dollar you send goes toward a specific, tangible piece of this rebuild.

We are at $470 right now. Let's get across that $1,000 line by Wednesday.

Clayton Hotel Dublin Review

As you know, I did a trip to Dublin in February for a conference. I stayed at the Clayton Hotel Burlington Road. Here’s my review.

Knowing when to retire is harder than knowing how much to save. The timing depends on what your retirement actually looks like: how long your money needs to last, what you'll spend, and where your income comes from.
