Description:

Who hasn't fantasized about running away from home to spend tranquil days strolling through the Italian hill country or listening to Mexican folk music in a colorful plaza? Or maybe you'd prefer to spend your time sailing from one glorious Caribbean island to another. Whatever your fancy, midlife and beyond offers empty-nesters and early retirees the opportunity to turn those mental dreamscapes into treasured experiences.
