Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

We hold on to the antique buffet( right photo) until 2002 and even transported it to Maryland from California at FDA expense. But when I retired we decided to sell it to the buyers of our home in Hammonton Rd including our living room furniture so we do not have to pay a coast to coast shipping expense.
