Iris describes her life as often chaotic, and with retirement she determined to settle and accomplish some much cherished goals. Writing being near the top of her list, she decided to chronicle a specific time when she and spouse Chris decided on a move to Panama. The idea started as a brief blog online, but with feedback and questions, this soon expanded into chapters of a future book. Using her unique quirkiness and life full of experience, Iris has created an interesting and informative book full of ups and downs, all with her own ironic bent. Along with two delightful cats, the couple embarked on an often frustrating goal which took far longer than they ever imagined.
