Tanya and I have had similar retirements and I'm jealous of those of you who have so much freedom. Life has taken over the last 5 years since I retired and my time has been spent taking care of sick relatives. My mom is 96 and my sis and I take care of her full time. My daughter is bipolar and has had a recent episode with that and I've been back and forth with her and I've had quite a spell with surgery followed by a scary bout of seizures and hospital stay. Keep hoping to have the long vacation everyone talks of but so far haven't gotten there yet.LOL Good Luck with your retirement but not everyone has the freedom that others speak of.
