dougwalkabout Crazy Canuck Carpal Tunnel Registered: 02/03/07 Posts: 3240 Loc: Alberta, Canada	Congratulations! Every retiree I know beings to miss the chase before long, and ends up in a lower-intensity part-time job or volunteers with community organizations. Any plans for that?

wildman800 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 11/09/06 Posts: 2851 Loc: La-USA	My “Retirement Job” will start this month with travelling in our camper to see as much of the historical places and landmarks that we can while we’re in good enough shape to go and see them!!!! We’ll be passing by Blast, soon. I also have a trip planned to Ithaca, NY to find and visit Stu’s gravesite. _________________________ QMC, USCG (Ret) The best luck is what you make yourself!

hikermor Geezer in Chief Geezer Registered: 08/26/06 Posts: 7705 Loc: southern Cal	Doug is right on with his comments, I am a pretty typical example. Retirement is a time to blend something different with something entirely new.... Wildman, you mentioned historical sites. GGgrandfather was a farmer and itinerant preacher who held services every third Sunday at the Shiloh chapel. Visiting the site has been on my bucket list for a long time...

Chisel Veteran Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 1563	Good for you Wildman Enjoy it. Regarding post-retirement jobs, I retired almost 4 years ago, and not denying that I love practical working life. Last week got an job offer. Initially, I thought it would be a low intensity , online type of job, but found out it would be a stressful job, 900 miles from where I live. No, thanks. Enjoy your retirement, and follow your dreams.

Nomad Addict Registered: 05/04/02 Posts: 493 Loc: Just wandering around.	Nomad here. Retirement +8667 days. And each day we say "Well we have gotten away with another one." We left Maine in Aug 97 and have been living on wheels ever since. RV life can be great, but it has its rough spots as well. We would be happy to provide advice as needed. Enjoy, it gets better as you go. At first we ran around looking at everything everywhere. Road travel throughout the U.S., Canada & Mexico with a few air trips to Brazil and Ecuador. Gradually we slowed down, staying longer at each place and delving deeper into the local interests. At ages 81 & 78, we have slowed down a bit, but are currently planning a run from AZ to Maine for the summer. Aug 15 1997 to today = 8662 days = 23 years, 8 months and 18 days. It's been a great trip. Welcome and enjoy. Nomad. Edited by Nomad (04/02/21 04:07 PM) _________________________ ...........From Nomad.........Been "on the road" since '97
