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.
