Wow. I just wanted to pop in to say how nice it was that you shred your pension amount. So many people shy away from discussing specific financial numbers, but it's so incredibly helpful to planning when you see what other people are making it on, if that makes sense. One of our biggest fears is can we make it on what we would be getting. Being able to see actual numbers of what others are doing -- just so very helpful, and so generous of you for sharing.

Tina and Norm... you often mention that you live in a smaller Ontario town with a view of water. What town do you live in? It would help to place a lot of your financial and retirement suggestions, advice, and caution into a perspective. Without this a lot of it is difficult to balance.

Hi Tina and Norm. My wife and I are just a wee bit younger than you,61 and 62, and are eyeing retirement. Your KZitem videos give us insight and ideas about travel. We haven’t been anywhere, over 40 years dairy farming, hasn’t allowed us the free time, but we are looking to retire now from dairy and just grow crops, and your videos have been a wonderful source of information and ideas. We look forward to your videos each week. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all.

You are so right about adult children and their homes (I believe Norm referred to this in one of the first of your videos that I watched). It hadn't occured to me when we started thinking about downsizing. but it's really true. Our kids are proud of their homes and want us to come there. As well you mentioned in that earlier video that getting a recreational property is a great idea. We bought a cottage before the pandemic, and it has become the place where we all get together for wonderful family experiences. Thank you for another great video. Enjoy your Family Day weekend!

Excellent episode. It really is unbelievable how similar you as a couple are to my wife and me. Do repeat this Q & A as it was very effective. One of your best. Here is a question for your next video that is a follow up to the travel medical one you answered. We use the AMA 30 day policy but have to top up for most of our vacations which, like yours, exceed 30 days. What do you do for over 30 days coverage? A further comment on Covid tests. Perhaps Alberta is different but we only had to show our proof of vaccination to board Westjet to Mexico and did the PCR within 72 hours of boarding for our return. The computer selected me for a random test on our return to Calgary airport and that was a breeze. We needed that break in the sun last December. We really enjoy your videos. Roger and Jeanette

Hi Tina and Norm. This was such an enjoyable Q&A session. Norm's custom of taking Tina her morning tea in bed reminded me of my Dad's custom of taking my Mom's morning small orange juice, her daily vitamin pill and a cup of coffee to her each day. As he was a Naval officer and was often away at sea sometimes as long as 6 months or 9 months she used to say that this custom was something that she appreciated so much when he was back home. It just started her day out in a nice way and made her feel so pampered and loved. It's too bad that more couples don't do this nowadays. Take care and have a pleasant weekend. 🤗❤🙏🌎

Loved your video. I just came back from a 9 day cruise to Aruba Curacao and Bimini, Nassau. We had booked ABCs 2 years ago and Celebrity was fantastic moving our cruise and flights ahead from 2021 to 2022. They required a rapid test which cost us $40 at Shoppers Drug Mart and the PCR test we got in the port as we disembarked. It really was very easy. Celebrity didn't charge for the test as we booked before November 2021. We always fly out of Detroit as l like Delta. 👍 l find they have less delays and canceling flights. On the cruise there was one case of covid which they isolated immediately as well as the co travellers and sent them home at our first port. We only had to wear masks in the casino and the theater. Everyone was vaccinated and there were no more cases. I ended up being very glad l did it. I am going to Vancouver in July to do a 7 day Alaska cruise also. These were both cruises l had booked for 2021 and am finally going! It's wonderful and l have to say the ship was at half capacity and very clean! I never felt at risk. All the best.

Hi, we really enjoy your videos. We found them when searching info about Portugal. On one episode, Norm mentioned supplementing your income with photography. Just wondering how you go about it. I enjoy photography and would love to be able to make a little extra money. Thanks and looking forward to move videos!

Thanks for watching our videos Nick, Norm had been a stock photographer for 18 years licensing photographs through picture agencies, then 12 years ago starting filming b-roll and licensing those too. Have a nice weekend!

Wonderful segment, loved the photos and the questions. You have a lovely family it seems. Do you ever worry about the rent escalating on your apartment and forcing you into a new living situation? I know you have rent control. Are there provisions in Canada that a landlord must keep the rental property in good shape? Here in the States--that is the number one fear of seniors who rent. They do not want to be forced to look for a new rental in their old age. Thank you so much.

I'm sure you're happy to hear that the Canadian Government has lifted the mandatory PCR test returning back into Canada and the travel ban!!!! We're heading to Maui in November and a cruise February'23, looking forward to traveling again!! Love channel!!!🙂🍁

Fingers crossed! definitely steps in the right direction but it’s not changed yet on the travel ban on the government site and we feel that not even the rapid test is needed if you are fully vaccinated . We hope you enjoy Maui and your cruise 🚢 Cheers 🍷🌺🍺

LOL! About the Portuguese learning, don't take it as criticising, maybe as trying to help getting better!!! When it comes to languages i don't care about critics, i care about if can get better! Nice video my friends. I hope free control travelling will come again soon!

It’s mainly our pronunciation of Portuguese names on our KZitem videos, we have had a lot of people criticize us. The problem with learning Portuguese is Google translate uses Brazilian Portuguese even DeepL translate has just one Portuguese listed. Many of the words or expressions are different in Portugal. Thanks for watching and have a nice day.

As fellow Canadians we found you via our search for perspectives and information from CANADIANS. It is very difficult to find much Canadian info on utube in regards to travel (Portugal) so I was very excited to find and follow your channel. Thanks for the entertainment, info and insight…. CANADIAN STYLE. 👍😀
