Here&#039;s what I found.
On Tauck&#039;s America&#039;s Canyonlands Tour, most daily motorcoach transfers between destinations last between 1.5 to 3 hours, with comfort and stretch stops scheduled roughly every 90 minutes to two hours.]]></description>

Shirlee,
I will definitely tell Mom that you are sending her your love! She&#039;s living her best life, and it&#039;s not because she is eating healthy or exercising. I truly believe it&#039;s because of her happiness and her being extremely social.
As we get older, happiness and being social are huge!
Love you!]]></description>

		Comment on The Medicare Part D Penalty: Why So Many Seniors Are Surprised When They Need Prescription Coverage by HelloIm50ish		</title>

Thanks, Rory.
Unfortunately, I learned too late about the penalty.
Medicare has a great website, but they really do need to tell folks that you need to have a prescription drug plan when you are 65, even if youre not taking any prescriptions. Some, which is why insurance companies have prescription plans built in already. We have Anthem, but it dropped the prescription plan in 2026, so I never thought about it until now. I&#039;m either going to get hit with a one-year penalty or a 5-year penalty from Medicare. And the penalty gets charged every year. An expensive lesson to learn that I don&#039;t want others to be hit with a penalty.]]></description>

Kim,
If your husband has insurance, then you don&#039;t need to worry about it yet. But when the time comes that you need insurance, get an insurance broker if you can. They give you a lot of options for insurance. 
For Medicare, you can sign up online because this is from the government.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for this article! My husband turns 65 next May so Medicare ins and outs are really on our minds right now. (I&#039;m carrying health insurance for us, so him becoming Medicare eligible makes retirement a lot closer to reality!)

You mentioned licensed Medicare advisors...how is the best way to find one? I worry that the people holding themselves out as Medicare advisors are determined to sell a particular plan that might not work for us.]]></description>
