Retired at the end of April 2016, coming up to age 57. Husband, 61, semi-retired, but working more it seems now that I'm home. Has a couple of projects he hopes to finish soon. We'll spend more time at the beach and have more time to travel and cruise. Are wrapping a cruise in July with before-and-after land touring. We'll be gone three weeks. This is our retirement vacation as well as the celebration of our 30th anniversary.
If anyone is planning to take a cruise...do it now, or soon. I hate to sound maudlin, but we have friends who have gotten very sick and died soon after retiring. Take time for fun, whatever that is for you. Enjoy!! Do good things. Be kind to each other.
Anyone close to retirement? / when do you start counting the days?
in 55+ Cruisers
