10 Travel Points For Empty Nesters Greatest Hits E139

10 Travel Tips…
This is a Greatest Hits episode. It originally aired as Episode 87 in May 2025 and we’re bringing it back because the tips hold up.

Ten travel tips from our trip to Germany. Not a general list. Specific things we did, tools we used, and habits that made the trip work. A lot of it applies well beyond Germany.

The thread running through all of it is flexibility. The Empty Nest changed what’s possible when you travel. This episode is about making the most of it.

Rick Denton The Loud Quiet

Rick & Clancy have been enjoying life together for 28 years...married for 24. Starting August 2023, they now have two college aged kiddos and are about to enter a new phase of life. The house is quieter than before...it's a loud quiet, indeed. Join them as they laugh, cry and yes, probably argue while trying to figure out how to live the empty nest - new adventures / challenges await!
