Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

W hat do people do with themselves once they are

freed from the responsibilities of maintaining a

house and yard? They leave their apartments and cottages and

travel the world! A maintenance-free lifestyle allows you to leave

your worries on the doorstep and adventure to Athens, New

Zealand, Costa Rica, Portugal or wherever your interests take

you. Travel is one of the hidden benefits of the Trinity Oaks

lifestyle.
