Deposit down on 1st Tour--Investigating Retiring Abroad [View all]

Made it today.
Checking out Panama. It's for August 2022! Tried for February & March, but they sold out in minutes.

I have a list of countries. Obviously got to none of them in 2020. Am on a wait list for a tour in 2021, hoping that may work.
I feel behind in my reconnaissance, but have plenty of time.
