Our Midlife Adventures

We're Rich and Robin and these are Our Midlife Adventures!

We retired in 2021, traveling in and out of our Midlife Van, on Cruises, and Around the World.

If you're 50+ and love budget-smart travel, we answer: Should I? How much? What's it like? — with real costs, honest verdicts, and no fluff.

🚐 Van Life + Promaster DIY & Baja California
🚢 Cruising and port guides you can do yourself
✈️ Cheap travel, deals & steals

🚨 EMERGENCY SURGERY... in Jamaica... while on vacation. We never saw this coming.

Robin ended up in a Jamaican hospital for emergency surgery during what was supposed to be a relaxing trip.

In our new video, we share the full story — what happened, what the hospital was really like, and how we paid for it all.

If you've ever wondered what happens if you get sick abroad — this one's for you.
