Whoo Hoo. Freedom 55 (+). Am retiring this year so just booked my free airmiles for 4.5 months in Cozumel starting in November. I've NEVER had this much time on my hands, EVER. What sort of trouble can I get into?

Congrats!!!! I can so totally understand! Retired Dec 31st after 28+ years in banking and 37 years straight working. It's a real culture shock to be home all day and not out the door at 7:00 AM, but house projects and other things are keeping me super busy! Just wish I had a way to go to Coz for 4+ months!

Cogratulations Marg. Maybe you can fill in for Ricardo or Jeremy on their days off?

Retired 2 years ago, just love it. Over 25 years in the real estate biz which came after a stint as a systems analyst. I find plenty of things to do. Hubby travels about 90% of the time for his job so I tag along or visit. I think spending winters in Cozumel is a splendid idea! Enjoy your hard earned retirement.

I gave up my main job in '01, at 50. But never had to look for something to do. Always had at least 3 things going at a time. So still had 2. Am just as busy as my energy allows. Recently got on the paleo diet, also called caveman diet. Energy is up, and have dropped about 15 pounds. In 4 months.
Just remember the little people who got you there. Absolutely nothing higher than you can reach. Ladders are not your friend. Going deep is okay in the water. Just not high.
You're not ever going to be able to live that down. Ha ha.
If you need to paint your walls Donna will glady loan you our 12 foot paint pole and roller. Plenty of time to work on your Spanish. Donna says watching soaps help. I'm still questioning that part.
And if need something you can't find on the island drop us a note. You know at some point there will be another road trip.

Congratulations; but how is 4.5 months in Cozumel going to sit with the dogs and the wine. I retired almost 4 years ago and find we can travel more often but not more than a week or so at a time. Anybody want a really good cat?
Anybody ever bring an animal with them?

Just rub it in! We've still got a few more years till we can relax & watch the world go by. In the meantime, we'll just have to enjoy the Weiner Dog Races in Buda this weekend
