      Phuket is a good place to try out kiteboarding if you haven't tried that before. A couple of years ago me and my wife took a three-day training at the southern part of Pukhet and it was super fun. Thank you for a really good channel!

    Aging is to me a perplexing process. It seems that no matter how old your body gets your spirit, soul, whatever you call your inner self, stays basically the same. It’s sort of like riding around in a car to me. The vehicle gets older and starts breaking down over the years but the passenger inside ages much more slowly. Remember that the next time you’re around someone in their 80’s. Inside that old body is a much younger driver. Lol

      What a fantastic analogy and way of explaining what aging truly does feel like! My mother use to tell me all the time that her reflection would often surprise her because what she felt like inside did not match what she saw in the mirror.

      @feversol Год назад +15

      Wanted to say pretty much the same thing. At 77, this is absolutely the way of Life. The ‘breakdowns’ are more frequent and sometimes more uncomfortable, but the mind doesn’t change. You owe it to yourselves to plan for the future but never short change your lives today because the future is not guaranteed. That’s an over-used sounding phrase, but as you age you will recognize it to be correct. We’re a month away from 51 years married and we both feel so fortunate to have made it this far. There have been scares, but we are still here. As long as you’re enjoying what you do, keep doing it. You will not regret enjoying life and each other.

    You guys are about the ages of our kids (43 and 41), so please take this as some fatherly advice-find a way to get those basic health checks each year to catch any potential problems early…they’re vital to continuing your fantastic lifestyle and each other for a long time. Happy birthday and anniversary!

      With the amount of solar power you'll be getting - GET THAT MAN A DISWASHER!!! I would suggest a 'dish drawer' style, which Fisher and Paykal make (and so do others). Ours has been in constant service for 15 years without a breakdown. Low power consumption, low water usage, no dishpan hands......

You should really enjoy what you want to do in the third 20 because when you get to the fourth 20, you start to slow down with health and endurance issues. This is your time to live the dream you chose! Congrats on the milestones and the new boat!

  • @dobiebloke9311
    @dobiebloke9311 Год назад +1

    Nikki and Jason - Congrats on hitting the big 42. I just turned 70 a few weeks ago, and basically, had the same conversation with myself, as you guys did. I too, have always appeared to others to be about 10 years younger than I am, just as I had you guys pegged for about 32.
    I actually didn't like that until I hit 50 and looked 40, which was still a respectable enough age to not be considered 'a kid', regarding, well, grown-up things (business, contracts, etc). Finally, I got to sit at the 'adults' table, at holiday meals. I do often sit at the kid's table, even now, but just because a bunch a kids, are usually a lot more fun to sit and dine with, than a bunch of grown-ups.
    As with you guys (or so it appears), I too have been fortunate in basically, being healthy throughout it. I did have a ruptured appendix, a sports hernia and I passed a kidney stone once, but all of that was between my ages of 14 and 17, with no further issues, or kidney stones, since.
    I still have all my teeth, minus the two upper wisdom teeth, as I see my Dentist 3 times a year, and have done, for the last 30 years. I still have most of my hair (slightly thinning) and upon close inspection, I do have a few gray hairs on my head, barely noticeable, but with many more in my salt and pepper beard. I've never had stitches, but for surgeries, and I've only broken one bone in my life, an ankle, when I was 53. I have had a few spinal injuries, all sailing related, and with proper exercise, they are under control, and don't cause me any serious issues.
    To celebrate turning 70, and since it had been 20 years, I decided to (and did), find a recommended Doctor, to get a proper 'Annual' Physical. I passed with flying colors, as much as can be determined with that sort of physical, and blood work, but for one thing.
    The Doctor detected a slight heart murmur (that I've had since birth). All the Doctors I've been examined by before, who knew enough to notice it, have all said, at this point (being in the past), 'It's not a problem now, but it could become one, in the future'.
    I told this to my current Doctor, and he agreed with that, and altho he too, didn't see it as a problem of the 'now', and as I told him that I haven't experienced any problem with it, he said, 'Yeah, but you've never been 70 before, so let's take a look at it'.
    Once I had an idea of what was involved, to the surprise of everyone who knows me, including myself, I agreed to do it. Basically, I handed myself over to the medical profession, for an amazingly extended battery of tests. Oddly, to me, only requiring one needle, and all the while, no one ever wanted to see me naked, which I thought kinda odd. Am I that reprehensible? Where has my beauty gone?
    For whatever reason, the bill for this 'exam', of all exams, has totaled at least $30,000 (actually, a bit more), of which my co-pay is $0, for anything. Even the parking was free. All it cost me, was to give myself over, and the gas to get there. True. as I told them, I wouldn't do it any otherwise. That's just how it is.
    Having painted myself into this corner of giving advice, do as you're doing. Live, eat, work and play well. Pay attention to yourself, as I know you already do, and if you sense something wrong, and normal remedies don't cure it, go see a Doctor. Of course, as well, if extreme, get a second opinion, even if only WebMD.
    Remember, you hire Doctors for their expertise, for their skills, as well, for their insights and opinions. Not meant to say that you want them to make up your mind for you, which many Doctors, often suppose you do, but rather you should remind them, they are only the third opinion, at best.
    Keep on your toes, and your Doctor's toes, as well.
    Point being, after all the MRIs, CAT scans, and just plain old-fashioned X-rays, EKGs, Echo Cardiograms, and extraordinary blood work (with only one needle, I might add), they had thoroughly inspected my body, inside and out, upside and down, and wrote in their report, minute details, that only I would know.
    Stuff that gets by standard Doctors, in standard physicals, such as a slightly herniated naval (just another boat wound), being not obvious by sight. Nor was it a problem to me, other than I am aware of it, but, it was picked up on by them, and noted on, to my surprise. Thru this extensive physical exam, they had exact measurements of every opening and closing, every orifice of my body, being there some others more, that I never even knew I had.
    Basically, if I had any cancer or something other, brewing in me, it would have been picked up, which is why I agreed to go thru it, forget about the heart murmur. I feared they might either find my colon clogged by tumors or my liver and kidneys, fighting it out, the winner yet to be determined.
    I gave them (the medical profession), every chance in hell, to find something wrong with me, and other than for the heart murmur, and slightly herniated navel, they found nothing. I'd be lying, if I told you that did calm me, as I was convinced I was going to need open-heart surgery, if not open ass, more or worse.
    Sorry, I'm rambling. The point is, what you are experiencing now at 42, is going to continue to happen, hopefully, going forward. The idea of getting your Annual Physical more frequently than once every 20 years, is probably a good one, but what you guys are doing, in terms of physical exercise (as even just sleeping on a boat, is, but also), eating well, and not shooting too many Martinis, or heroin, is probably a good choice, barring a need of extreme prevarication.
    I'll shut up now, but PS - the snail footage was amazing

    A middle-class person today has more comfort and entertainment in his home than the King of England had in the middle ages and even so people have more depression today than then, having more stuff won't make you happier, I did 42 years old in April and I realized that I spent most of my time looking for happiness in the next car or the next trip, think about it.

    My daughter lived in Beijing for 6 years, teaching English. I went to visit her after she had been there for 12 months, and stayed with her in her apartment. One morning I asked her where something was in her kitchen, and she said, "I don't know, I never go in there." She lived an a good area of Beijing and there were restaurants/cafes everywhere, so her and her friends ate out every night.
    Re getting old. My daughter returned to New Zealand with end stage kidney failure. Because of her blood type, she needed a donor with O blood type. After a lot of tests and then the Covid pandemic, we finally had the operation. I was told that I was one on the healthiest 64 year olds they had seen in a long time. Two years later (beginning of this year), I had a massive heart attack (blood clot) that I was told I was very lucky to survive. Age/health wasn't really a factor, but it did make me realise that I am getting older. Not something I had really thought about before.

What was that Cake you had for your Birthday? Collagen is where it is at, I know I use Collagen in my morning Lemon water, Coffee, Salad, etc. The City is so pleasant, clean, quiet, peaceful, safe, and Beautiful. The experiences you are having are so enchanting. I love the aerial of your sailboat looking down on the Solar top. That is rare to find Snails copulating my brother did that for his College Biology class; the professor was 'over the moon' about it! Thank you for taking us along to the Buddhist Temple, what an incredible park, the pathways. The place to bathe your feet, all so unique from our Culture. I look forward to next weeks adventure! Thank you for this aesthetically pleasing intro to the environment you are now romping in! Great adventure, good vibes, and pleasant people. Namaste, be Safe. I loved the experience of seeing such a superb large city exuding such class, peace, and prosperity.

    Happy anniversary, and happy birthday Jason 🎉. I remember the moment I went from “young” to “old”. Usual and habitual moment of having a drink with my mates in a loud pub, music blaring. I was 36 and exclaimed, “shall we go somewhere quieter so we can chat properly?”
    That was it, I’d turned the corner, and like my dad before me, started telling my son to turn the heating down, closing doors, and flushing toilets properly 😂

    Happy Birthday, Jason!
    I appreciate Nikki’s moment of keeping it real and admitting that ya’ll don’t always follow everything by the book when it comes to preventative health care. Good health is often something that one takes for granted until you don’t have it. If anything I can convey, please pay attention to your heart health. My boyfriend died suddenly and unexpectedly at 41 from a medical emergency related to undiagnosed silent atherosclerosis. The heartache I would not wish on anyone. Please, for each other, make it a priority to stay on the planet as long as you can for each other. You owe this to each other and to this amazing life that you’ve built. 💜🙏
    Sorry. I didn’t want to be “that person” but it is better to have the peace of mind of confirmation of good health. I wish you both the very best and many more happy years together.

    Nikki, being a retired engineer, the engineer of Asian structures has always amazed me… Becoming knowledgeable of such engineering is a huge step to learning another culture…
    Take a chance and skim through some of their How To’s on everything… From assembly of a building to tapestry to cultural musical instruments…
    Learn something new everyday and you will always be jubilant…

    Happy Birthday Jason and Happy 17th Wedding Anniversary!!! You both "feel" younger than you say you are and that is a testament to your unwavering passion for curiosity and love, finding joy and new understanding in all you see, hear, and experience. If anyone is living a life of fulfillment it is the both of you. I was jumping for joy, when I heard you were going to Thailand, please see the elephants for all of us. They are such special souls! God bless you both on your travels and thank you for sharing with us!

    I know YOU know this, but "maybe" some viewers don't. As a former woodworker I have worked with Chinese, and Vietnamese workers. The high end boats that are built in these countries have lower labor costs but also VERY SKILLED PEOPLE. You 2 are a joy to watch and listen to,"most" of the time.

    My heart fills with emotion watching you two. So many thoughts and feelings about my life at age almost 68. I have lived the other life, having children and raising a family and staying put in Iowa. In my younger years I wanted to build a Tahiti 2 sailboat and sail around the world. That will never happen so thanks for sharing all you two share. Happy birthday Jason. You are married to one of the world’s most beautiful women.

    Happy Birthday and Anniversary to ya! My cousin and I were talking at her 50th B-day. We are the Old People in the family now. The look on her face, when that sunk in, was priceless.
    Jason, yes get the sticks, I'm 54 and used them this past week on a backpacking/fishing trip with my son. Was totally worth it. Thought it would be awkward, once you got into the rhythm of them it was great.

    Happy Birthday Jason and Happy Anniversary to you both! This video was so timely as my husband and I are going through the same type of moment. Married for 20 years and I'm 45 and my husband is approaching 50. It's a surreal feeling. You knew it would happen some day but you really don't know what you're going to feel like until it's already here. Be kind to your bodies! I wish I hadn't overdone those workouts in my 20s. I'm already seeing a knee and back doctor to deal with aging cartilage. Maybe start eating those chicken feet!! ❤😊 Xiamen is such a beautiful city, thank you so much for sharing it with us!

    I feel you man, I'm a few months shy of my 45th, my biggest 'I really am getting older' shock came the first time I got my hair cut and they asked if I also wanted my eyebrows trimming... Nooooo!

    What an amazing place. Just look at that society and that city. It is nothing like I expected. Far, far better and more beautiful. It makes most cities I’ve been in look uncivilized. Thank you for sharing this. It’s al quite surreal.
    Oh yes, Happy Birthday Jason. Don’t worry, you are still young. You have another 20 years that you can retain your fitness to a level a lot closer to when you were 20 than you would believe. The secret is staying with it. I was still doing a warmup in the Gym of 20 pull-ups in an L-sit position at 62 yrs old. I am now 10 years older than that and was out for a ride on my Honda CBR 1000RR tonight. I think you two have the right attitude to be very fit in your 70’s.

  • @mrcuttime22
    @mrcuttime22 Год назад +2

    I've been watching you two since the pandemic lockdowns because I wanted to "get away" too (like a lot of people). And you've taken us on so many surprising adventures, I am always impressed and this episode is no exception. I've learned so much. Jason's face when he ate the hot spinach was priceless! And Nikki is so lovely! Forties look good on you both, but change is inevitable. You'll want to find/make a way to do self-traction or hang your spine whenever you throw your back out.

    The boat is amazing and it is interesting to see you explore this beautiful area of China.
    Re aging, I just turned 72 and my wife is 66. We Travel a lot as her work takes us all around the world and we crave experiences and adventure even at our age, so keep that in mind as you start to feel the aging process. Your adventure window may be much larger than you think ...
    Taking responsibility for eating right and getting exercise is crucial to maintaining the energy needed to travel and have new experiences. Having "curiosity" about the world and life also helps keep the mind functioning properly. Thanks for the tip on AG1. It has become part of our routine and fuels the fire that is essential in our active lives.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jason! May I say that I’ve watched for a long time and I think I am excited about the next adventure in your new home. As far as the age thing….. just turned 68 and will be celebrating 45 years married later this year. I know everyone deals with aging in different ways but please, as hard as it may be, don’t dwell on your age. Live each day the best way that you can. Each day as we all know is a gift. Living for today is the best way, in my opinion, to enjoy what has been given to us. Just know that as the years add up, the knee might hurt a bit more but just grin the best you can and know what your new limit might be.
