    Well, about 20 years ago, just before we got married, my wife and I decided that we would retire to Italy.

    The plan:

    • Spend an entire year touring the country
    • Stop for a week or so at every little place that grabs our fancy
    • At the year end, pick a spot
    • Must include olive tree (my requirement)
    • Profit (measured in quiet retirement that includes trips to the local village for coffee and / or wine and food with visits from children and grandchildren)

    Our reason for Italy is fairly straightforward: Love the people, great weather, incredible food, the wine (c’mon), the chill lifestyle, absolutely beautiful country.
