RE:Travel PlansI couldn't agree more. Being in my mid 30s I'm contemplating "retirement" at the moment. It's surprising how hard it is to take that leap when you've got a decent long term career... However Life is short, the kids are still young, the wife and I are still young(ish) so we can still play. Spending the next 30 or so years having the time to introduce our kids to our outdoorsy life style; snowboarding, surfing, cycling, dirt biking, fishing and hunting while there still around should keep us young, healthy and fit. 30 years is a long time and who knows where you end up at the other end... eventually you just gotta make the decision that enough is enough and start down a different path in life.
Thanks for the post, well timed for me, I always enjoy your input.
