"Ya know how sometimes you go on vacation and you’re so busy that, at the end of it, you wish you had another week of vacation to recoup? Well, that’s the beauty of retirement (and early retirement) – you can actually make that happen!"

Probably more solemn than a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the site of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor is a silent witness to the chaos and carnage that signaled America's entrance into the Second World War. A war that would cost almost 400k American lives and between 50-70 million worldwide.

We were able to mark the visit off our bucket list in 2021.
