David and Rosalyn's trip reports have taken a turn. They now focus on purchasing their home for their retirement. They still manage to provide a lot of great information for casual visitors to Las Vegas as well as those considering a move to Nevada in their future.

From David:

Even more than in past reports, this should focus less on the typical activities of a tourist and more on our progress in arranging for our upcoming retirement in Southern Nevada. I hope it will hold special interest for those making similar plans or at least thinking about it; Rosalyn and I welcome you to e-mail any comments or questions you have on the subject.
