- Be aware of your personal security and be cautious about common email and text scams. Staying safe in retirement does need you to question unexpected communications. Using an ATM or point of sale card terminal isn't how it used to be.
Like us have you forgotten free benefits that come with your credit card or car insurance, let's remind us all of some. Join us for a discussion on some hidden benefits we may have forgotten about, what have you forgotten in retirement? #retirement

The one thing the US Army taught me in my 34 years of service was to be situationally aware at all times and be prepared to take necessary measures to defend myself and my wife in the event crazies approach us.
Sounds like some great advice Frank Happy New Year! Cheers 🇺🇸🥂🥳🇨🇦

Another timely video from N&T. We're leaving for New Zealand tomorrow for a 5 week tour of the south Island. I just ran out to make photocopies of our passports! and I wrote out our destination and return paperwork for the luggage, great suggestions. You two are THE BOMB!. BTW, we bought the Cosori air fryer you suggested for our Christmas gift to each other. Another "shoot's he scores"! I'm starting to realize just how much you two are internet influencers, wow. Keep up the good work, love your channel. Happy New Year.😊
That’s so wonderful Steve thanks for sharing we hope you have a wonderful trip in New Zealand 🇳🇿 sounds great , glad you enjoy our channel and videos Happy New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
Happy new year Norm and Tina! A very happy healthy 2023! Your scarf is beautiful Tina. Another great video with lots of wise travelling advice. VPN(virtual private network) are not recommended by many tech experts or myself. You can be blocked by service providers because they know that you are using a VPN in a foreign location. It may sometimes violate the sites terms of service even if not illegal. VPN’s can cause your computer to crash which happened to us. They can conflict with the security of a computers operating system or anti virus software. We uninstalled are VPN and if we wish to use it we simply reinstall the program. I don’t think VPN’s provide any additional security if other protocols are in place. They may work best for mobile applications.
We also photo-copy our essential travel documents. Another tip is to take photos of all documents. We also e-mail copies/photos of all relevant documents(insurance, travel documents, passports) Multiple copies in several places for easy access if something goes wrong and you forget,lose or have something stolen. Enjoy your New Years Eve! Cheers. Paul and Helen
Thanks for sharing Paul very interesting always a good idea for lots of back up paperwork Happy New Year! Cheers 🥂🥳
Thank you for your video! My son just visited me from Prague and we enjoyed Christmas and New Year together!!
That is wonderful we are so happy for you family is so important enjoy it while you can Dian Cheers 🥳🥂
Hello Tina and Norm. When the screen requests the ATM/Credit number, you can often bypass the request by pressing the enter/green key cap a few times. It is when you request cash back that you need to input the number. And as Tina suggested it is a good idea to cover the screen when inputting the number.
I enjoyed the topic of discussion and thank you so much for sharing. 👍👍
Your welcome Sylvia glad you enjoyed the video Happy New Year 🥳🥂
Very informative. Thank you.
You Very welcome Vickie Happy New Year 🥳🥂🌺
Happy New Year Tina & Norm. Hope you had a great 2022 and looking forward to better 2023.
I used windows several years ago for personal computing and had issues even with antivirus installed. I switched to Mac OS for over 8 years and have no issues since. I am not using any antivirus on my Mac as it wasn’t recommended by Apple. I am not sure if it’s just luck or apple devices are better protected.
As for credit cards, yes we have had money stolen in Thailand and NYC while we are in Canada. Luckily the bank reimbursed the amount and we asked cash advance to be lowered or blocked all together since we never use cash advance due to high interest they charge.
Some other tips you have shared are great, especially keeping copy of our passports.
Anyhow, enjoy 2023, happy traveling and stay safe.
Thanks so much and Happy New Year, good to know your bank covered your losses. We too switched to Macs in 2013 and no antivirus software. Our MacBook is still running great, way better than the multiple windows machines we had every three or four years.
Omg I had no idea great ATM tips. Thanks. Happy New Year 🎊
Glad it was helpful! Happy New Year Betsy Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
Great advice! Happy New Year to you both! 🎉
Thanks so much! Happy New Year!!Keith and Terri hope it’s a good one 🇺🇸🥂🥳🇨🇦
Great useful tips as usual Tina and Norm. As an FYI, I use Norton anti-virus on my PC that includes VPN for free. Always buy when it's on sale typically around boxing day which makes it very cost effective. Just bought Norton 360 Deluxe for $24.95 which is for one year and covers 10 devices. Have a great New Year!
Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year! Martin 🥂🥳
You both are looking great! Happy new year! 🎉
Thanks Beverly Happy New Year! Cheers 🥂🥳🌺

Excellent video. I always wondered about a VPN, but I also wonder if I can use my cell phone as a hot spot instead. Happy, happy new year. I hope it is filled with joy, good health and many travels. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much Carole Anne yes you can use your cell phone as a hot spot Happy New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
Hi Tina and Norm! I am currently in São Sebastião, São Paulo visiting family. Their house is about 1/4 mile from the beach. The food here, in my opinion, is better than Portugal. The prices for us is very good but not to the locals. I bought about 12 lbs of the best meat and sausage for about 34 dols. We are going to cook them on the grill tonight. Great information... I have learned few things today. Have a great New Year. All the best in 2023. God Bless you.🎉🥳🎈🥳
Sounds great! hope you are having a great time 🇧🇷 Tony , we appreciate you watching and supporting us Happy New Year! Cheers 🇧🇷🥂🇨🇦🥳

I was given airtags for Christmas and they seem like a good idea to keep track of luggage, wallet, etc when travelling. Or even around home.
Sounds awesome Qwincy Happy New Year! 🥳🥂
Definitely around the house. “Where did I put my &#$@% keys?” Tee hee.
Great video !! Happy New Year Norm and Tina🎉

Nice to see you, Norm & Tina! Ooh, south of France! My parents & I went to Brittany & Normandy in 2019, and my favourite spot was Vannes, France. But mind you, I love old castles & it was amazing with ramparts still in tact. In the 80’s, I went to Nice, Monte Carlo, in the south of France, it was delightful! Wishing you both a Happy New Year🎉💕🇨🇦. Gilly
Thanks for sharing we have visited all those places in France 🇫🇷 too and loved them Gilly Happy New Year! Cheers 🥳🥂🌺

Hello Tina and Norm! Another video packed with great information. My husband and I mostly do road trips in the western US. We love staying at nice hotels with great breakfast buffets. Then just an early dinner later on. It sure is convenient and saves so much time spent shopping and cooking. However, sometimes it is nice to have more room and more of a homelike feel of a condo like the one you had in Alabama. Both accommodations have their advantages. Looking forward to following your travels in 2023. I loved your video of your road trip across Canada. Ever consider a road trip to some of our national parks in the western US? Take care in the new year!
Hi Cherry we loved doing the RV road trip across Canada 🇨🇦, would like to do an Amtrak train 🚂 trip or one across Eastern Canada so looking forward to travelling more Happy New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
More excellent advice. I'll seriously consider subscribing to a VPN in 2023.
Trust you'll enjoy traveling to either Portugal or the south of France in the New Year! Best wishes for the New Year!
We think it’s a great idea while travelling Chris Happy New Year!!not sure where we are going yet Cheers 🥂🥳
Happy New New Year's Tina and Norm. Loved hearing about your travel plans. We are looking at a cross country European trip but prob not till 2024. I have a need for road trips right now so hopeful for many in 2023. We have always tried to pick overnight stays that offer free breakfast then we only need to look at dinner. Love the colour of your new top Tina. Now are you staying up to see 2023 come in 🤗
Sounds great! some good plans Fay yes we like hotels with breakfast too , not sure we often don’t make it to see the New Year in LOL 😂 Happy New Year!! 🥂🥳
Happy New Year!!🎉🎉
Happy new year!! Cheers Kathy 🥂🥳🌺
Just discovered your channel recently. First off, you two are just the bees knees and cute as a button ! We are fellow Ontarians. My husband will retire in 2024 and I have been off work for a few years now due to chronic pain. We are now in the throws of starting to look at what life will look like once he is no longer working. Appreciate all the topics you cover. As content suggestions, what are your thoughts about moving to be closer to grown children? Maybe a video tackling how you find the best flight and accommodation deals. Forgive me if you’ve covered these topics in previous vids and I’ve missed them.
Welcome to our channel when we retired early 7 years ago we did move 6 hours to be with one of our adult children and grandchildren, we had been living near our other adult child for a long time , it was also a cheaper area so our money went further in renting the apartment we live in . We wish you well with your retirement we have many videos that cover lots of topics of coming up to retirement and once retired. Have a great weekend Cheers 🍷🙂🌺🍺
Happy new year and see you next year
We will see you too next week and Happy New Year!!🥳🥂
Would love a follow up video to hear if you found which was more economical. Self catering or hotel with breakfast. Love your videos❤. Here’s to wonderful adventures in 2023!
Great suggestion! we are hoping to do that Jenny on our next trip we wish you a wonderful New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
Watching catch up with two favorite people!
So sweet we are so glad for you to join us Dian hope you have a wonderful New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺

Good tips as per usual. Being aware of the dangers of the modern world is as vital as being aware of life's dangers eg road safety, personal safety etc. So yes Tina quite right, cover the keypad when adding one's pin code. Securing home safety for your internet usage is also vital. Receive an email you are unsure of- DON"T open it. If it is genuine the sender will get in touch. Receive an email telling you have won something, there is a parcel on the way or you have an outstanding account, remove without opening. Turn wifi and bluetooth off while wandering around town. This limits the possibility of being 'followed. Most of all, don't become paranoid but stay alert. Act like one would when crossing the road- Look both ways. Anyway, Tina and Norm another great year ahead. Looking forward to what you have on offer in 2023. 🎉✴ 🍾 🥂 🇳🇿 🙋♀ 🇳🇱
Glad you enjoyed the video Anita , great tip turning off wifi and Bluetooth while walking around , we appreciate your support in watching our channel and wish you and your Hubby a healthy and wonderful New Year Cheers 🇳🇱🥂🎆🥳🇨🇦☕️

If you're looking for an exotic travel spot, I recommend Malaysia. My favorite city is Penang (Georgetown) for food, street art, shopping, nature reserves and warm island life, but other places are hidden gems too...Langkawi, Cameron Highlands, Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Terengganu. Friendly people, very affordable, safe and English-speaking!
Thanks for sharing Linda Happy New Year! Cheers 🥂🥳
Happy New Year! my friends
Happy New Year! Cheers 🥳🥂
There are a lot of TH-cam channels of expats living in Thailand that show you can rent 1 or 2 bedroom condos on monthly basis for around $1,500 to $1,750 US with all the fancy amenities, pool, spa, gym. Its on my list of places to explore. Have a Nice New Year.
We wish you a great time Happy New Year! 🥂🥳
Delighted to hear you are thinking of Thailand. Our winter is their dry & sunny season so a good time to go. Chiang Mai is a fascinating old city in the North and really cheap to fly to from Bangkok. It is a walled city with a moat and surrounded by mountains. The original capital of Siam. Loads of 4 star Hotels for less than US$49 p/n. Happy New Year to both of you.
We would love to visit little wary of the long flight ✈️ but it’s on our list Happy New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
@@ThisIsOurRetirement No easy answer to distance from Canada. If you did find your way to Thailand it is a wonderland. Thailand & Portugal are my two favourites.
The Drury Inn gives you breakfast and dinner along with 3 drink coupons 7 days a week but not that many locations. The dinners used to be hotdogs and such but now are very good. You don't go away hungry. Happy New Year.
Yes they do Rick we enjoyed all of that in Frankenmuth at Drury Inn Happy New Year! 🥂🥳
Have a safe and healthy New Year ‼️‼️🇨🇦🇨🇦🎊🎊

Happy New Year Debbie!
I have usually book a hotel which includes breakfast and have done so for many yrs. I also bring a food container & put the fruit which is included at breakfast and take it for lunch as a fruit salad to eat at mid day, instead a full lunch, and just pay for dinner, that also reduces the cost, as well.
This is especially helpful if you are out and about touring around and don't necessarily want to stop. I usually just find a quiet place, sit and have my fruit.
Ms. B. Churchill
That's a great idea! Happy New Year Bernaclis Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
We miss cruising as well! Hopefully in the next year or so we can get back to it.
Yes we miss cruising 🚢too , still a bit risky for us Happy New Year!! to you both Cheers 🥳🥂

Appreciate the pros and cons of VPN usage in your vid and the comments below.
I thought youtubers would want google to track one's favorite subjects so that
the google-algorithms can provide similar links? But i am not savvy thereto.
We use a vpn when away from home using public wifi or using someone else’s internet such as hotel, Airbnb rentals. At home using our own network we don’t use the vpn.
Another idea to easily deal with a lost passport is to bring passport pictures with your photocopies. One less item to take care of during a stressful time. You previously mentioned your research for lightweight carry on luggage you purchased. I have not seen the specific brand for that luggage. Thank you for you efforts on YT.
It’s a brand called IT luggage and they have several lightweight choices. Thanks for sharing your ideas about the photos.
Happy 2023🥂 Thanks for this informative video!!! We were wondering what credit card do you use that gives you that cost effective travel insurance coverage? Many thanks, Ian & Stephanie...your Fans from Vancouver Island, BC😊
Hello Ian & Stephanie, the credit card is a Bank of Montreal Mastercard and it's the optional travel medical insurance, the price is based on age. These days they have reduced the coverage from 31 days per trip (unlimited trips per year), to maybe 19? Look at whatever credit card you have and see if they sell an insurance package. Thanks for supporting our channel, we appreciate it.
Verify then trust! Happy 2023.
Happy New Year! Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
Happy travelling in the new year. Suggestions: Vietnam and Laos. China and Nepal. Tibet. All great experiences. Even for a solo traveller women in her 70’s. (Like me!). Happy new year
Thanks for the tips! Happy New Year!! Cheers JP 🥂🥳🌺
Great advice Tina and Norm. Someone stole my passport when I was in India attending a wedding. I like the info left in your luggage too. Happy New Year! Travel insurance is a great idea. That is for health issues I presume? Certain countries might be cheaper to eat lunch and supper out depending on available markets with cheap food prices.
Happy New Year Don!
Happy 2023! 😀
Happy New Year! Cheers Billy 🥳🥂
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Safety tip - Never pick the phone from a number you don’t recognize. Always let it go to voicemail. If it’s legitimate they’ll leave a message. Also Google the phone number as many folks leave reviews on the number. Most unknown callers are scammers.
@@billyrock8305 Great advice Billy 👍
Norm and Tin, in the US, Hampton Inn, Residence Inn( it has in unit kitchenette ),Comfort Inn as well. Hampton has no in unit kitchenette you can find these hotels along the highway before getting into a bigger town.
Happy new year 😊🇺🇸
Happy new year! hope it’s a good one Cinde Cheers 🇺🇸🥂🥳🇨🇦
@@ThisIsOurRetirement thank you !
Hi Tina & Norm: Love your video. I actually like to go to ATMs which are inside the branch. The door is locked and you need your ATM Card to enter. We were recently talking about traveling to Thailand and included it in our Bucket list- We love Algarve and visiting it next month again.
Thanks for watching Suleman , yes Thailand is on our list but Canada and lots of other countries are now requiring a Neg Covid test if you come back via China or Honk Kong which could be a big problem for this trip at the moment . We are hoping also to get back to the Algarve soon for those lovely blue skies and gorgeous beaches Happy New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
@@ThisIsOurRetirement
@@ThisIsOurRetirement US has the same requirements for people returning from China/Hong Kong. When we traveled to Europe last year, we had to show our vaccination cards at German Immigration. Since we stayed over a week in German, we had to do COVID-19 test in Germany for Portugal and then again in Portugal when we returned to the US- getting more painful to travel😧
Happy New Year
Happy New Year Pat Cheers 🥳🥂🌺
I enjoy all your videos here on west coast Canada.
I thought it quite funny when you listed all the different gadgets you keep safe with a VPN...cell phone, IPAD, laptop...Remember when a "computer" was a series of huge boxes locked away in a room attended to only by highly trained computer experts? Try to put one of those in your back pocket! How times have changed, eh? 😆As always, great advice, ideas and suggestions. Love watching your videos!
Thanks for watching Sarah wow 🤩 yes how technology has changed over the years wishing you a very Happy New Year Cheers 🥳🥂🎆🌺
Tina and Norm. Taking retirement by Storm. Rock on in coming year. 🤘
Thanks Steve!
