Knee Deep In It
It's good though
Hi, thanks for stopping by our little island in the sun. We're Norm & Deb, and we retired in 2017 at ages 56 & 52. We started blogging because we wanted to tell our story and stay in touch with friends old and new. Together we went on this journey because we wanted to live our lives on purpose, not on some type of autopilot that many people find themselves on. We also wanted to live someplace warm! So off we went to points South with a few detours along the way.
The blog is named for how we feel about this new life together. We're knee deep in it, whether it's going great (the only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair...), or when it's less than perfect (that's life baby). Everything's Gonna Be Alright.

Vieques, Puerto Rico
If you are here looking for info on Vieques, Puerto Rico, we have a treat for you. You can find our first post upon arriving in Vieques (and click through the rest from there). Vieques is a whole lot about the beaches (an accurate count is difficult but it's at least 50, several accessible only by boat and some remain off-limits). So we put together a beach map & directory which we update and improve as we go. Click the map icon below to go to the Vieques Beach Map page and let us know your thoughts please!
