Thrak Posted April 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Officially 9 days today. Is there any better feeling?? Yes, there is a better feeling. I get it when I first board. Actually making it onto the ship is my big "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........" moment. :) I can't wait to get to single digits and then onboard for our next cruise. I definitely beats working.

AE_Collector Posted April 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Getting onboard a 14 day cruise 10 days after I retired in 2013! Near the end of the cruise I had been on a cruise for more than half of my retired life! We have tried to keep that ratio up but not easy to do. 88 of 365 days last year and 49 days so far this year.

RocketMan275 Posted April 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2015 When I was on active duty in Korea, every one had a 'count-down' calendar. Kind of a paint by numbers thing. Every day you would color out another square which showed how many days you had left in country. As the days went by, you became a 'short timer' or 'short'. Anyway, once one hit the single numbers you were so short that you became a "single-digit-midget". I keep a 'count down' calendar for my cruises. Alas, I'm not a "single-digit-midget". Only 209 days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Kenn USAF Retired after 22 years Never saw that one. The ones we had in 2nd ID could have been displayed in Playboy. Of course, that was back in 1973-1974. You'd get court martialed for those today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's in the low 30s at this point. My countdown is also for retirement but I'm still marking off months. 21 months to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfb4cruzing Posted April 9, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) All good. Been a short timer before. NH Gals & Sanibel, we are on the same trip. Walking onboard, dropping bags in cabin and heading for lunch and first beverage of choice confirms the reality. ** I would look for that perfect Formal Gown however all would clash with the beard I'm afraid.

luvtoteach Posted April 9, 2015 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We are going on a 20 day cruise in 10 days. Sadly, there are only 30 days till the end of our cruise. :( I was thinking the same thing this morning. We are on the same cruise. Looking forward to a fun crossing.

Saffir Posted April 9, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My voyage is the day after tomorrow, but I'm wishing that today was Friday instead of Thursday so I was leaving tomorrow morning! I'm way too excited. :D I think the better feeling will come when I actually step onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one for days to retirement. I 'retired' in Jul 13 but they talked me into coming back part time. Now I've got a new one. 173 days to next retirement. I won't be coming back again. BTW, 209 days to next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
