I am a returning blogger. I had gotten bored with my life and did not think anyone would be interested in it either so I shelved my old blog and now I have decided to begin anew.
In roughly two and a half months I will be 60. Wow, I remember with I thought that was so old and could not imagine that I would ever reach that ripe old age. If I did I fully expected that I would be near death. Well guess what? Now that I am almost there I am no where near death but ready for fun, new experience and adventure.
I work in an industry that affords opportunities to travel for short or long assignments as desired. In some cases it is possible to work remotely. I am doing some research to discover these types of opportunities.
After all these years I own my home and do not have to worry about a mortgage. It is a very freeing feeling especially with all that is occurring in the housing these days with all the wacko mortgages and foreclosure.
One dream I am working on is semi-retiring, buying a small motor home and a Harley Tri Glide and traveling to where I would like to work. I am thinking I can work in the South during the winter and North in the summer. I work as a contractor so I can do a 30, 60, or 90 day to make money for fun.
I also want to take advantage of elder hostel programs. There are so many to choose from in the US and abroad. For as long as I am healthy I want to enjoy every minute and not be afraid to try new things.
My parents were retired 30 years ago and they did not extraordinary with their time. Not much travel, trying new things, or getting to know their grandchildren. That was OK for them because it was their retirement and their choice. I know that this is not for me.
If anyone has fun and exciting adventures to suggest please feel free. If it peeks my interested I might add it to my list.
