First time to France 🇫🇷

We live in Cali, flew to NY for dinner and a show. Then flew to France the following day.

Wifey and I love to travel and explore. Although I do love it, I probably wouldn’t ever do it, if it wasn’t for her.

I’m blessed to have a woman who pushes me out of my comfort zone.

Through out our 15+ years of being together we have traveled all over the United States and a few places around the world.

My goal one day is to fully pay for these trips so she doesn’t need to work so hard before and after.

Part of me retiring her means not only does she not HAVE to work, but she also gets to enjoy everything we are used to doing and more.
