Today is my last day of work. Please, Private Message comments only!

Perhaps I will use my time to write a book about the Camino, or even begin posting here on a few topics...
:twisted:

It feels as liberating as slipping on my Crocs after a hot day of walking the Camino. I recommend the feeling to everyone.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Despite your private comments only request, I pass on best wishes; and would note that I retired on Sept 3, was in an aeroplane to Paris-CdG on Sept 4, and walking out of Mont Saint Michel on Sept 6. If you can manage it, I recommend this as a post-retirement transition exercise.

Likewise, best wishes. I can heartily recommend retirement, the best thing that ever happened to me, hope yours is the same.

Wishing you decades of discovery, adventure, a little decadence, and ultimately - peace.

I retired two years ago and am still grinning - picture of me :D

Oh the joy of going away for as long as you like without having to ask permission of your employer. Bliss!

Congratulations.
 
Retirement is a wonderful life-style, but does not pay as well as employment. I am able to mix the two, by working a part-time job in our Summer [when I would not be walking in Spain] and putting money aside for more trips to the camino without having to touch our retirement savings.

Congratulations.

I have been retired now for 11 years and I can truly say I have never been happier. Not working has allowed me to be a better husband, father and much more. It has also allowed me to do many things I never thought I would have the time to do.

I wish you all the best and many years of enjoyment ticking off items on that bucket list.

Best regards,
Joe Flavin

A very happy retirement Falcon! I am retired eighteen months and am extremely happy. Someone recently said to me " retirement is like childhood, you now have time to do the things you really love doing." Enjoy, you deserve it !

Happy Retirement Falcon!! Now it's time to kick up the walking boots!

The best retirement is a change in activity! Enjoy the new circumstance, but please keep on posting here :wink:
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I retired June 1 after thirty two years of Teaching in a large public high school. I do understand the sense of liberation, I promise. The Camino, which I will do in early Oct., is my gift to myself and my way of making the transition into my second life. I wish you many adventures in yours.
 
Gosh you have retired from everything I see from your Avatar, I'm guessing this is your latest grandchild, Bravo & well done Granddad :) :) (&Grandma too) :mrgreen:
 
Move slowly and make reasoned decisions in the next few weeks. It´s easy to "retire" into a life that is more busy than it´s ever been... I speak from experience!

"retired" at age 46, and never worked harder
