Yes, I visited AK in 2016. Absolutely *gorgeous* during the summer time! HI is on my bucket list (sounds like we're doing something similar with hitting every state 😊), so I'll have to look into details on that.

Love the RV roadtrip idea. That opens up a ton of possibilities!!

Yeah, all this is obviously contingent on what is going on with our world by then. Who knows. 😳

Thanks again for such great input!

Awesome!! Thank you!!

Being a realtor is not what I expected! I was so excited when I joined being younger, but nowadays it's all work and too little time off.

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.
