I know exactly what you mean though, after a while your own home & comfy bed are just calling your name :-) My husband and I are roadtrip pros, seriously I've considered writing travel journals for a living we do it so much! If you need/want any advice or tips for your very first coming up just let me know. And it sounds like you're starting to check off the list of all the stuff you said you wanted to do in retirement huh? Let me know how the HfH build goes, I've long considered volunteering for something like that too. Maybe its time to just do it.Jenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-40422712250143926972010-12-01T14:01:58.269-08:002010-12-01T14:01:58.269-08:00Enjoy your home time.

Road trips are the best but hope you finally get some down time. <br />I too feel so badly for those former work buddies who are still grubbing away at 9 to 5 jobs.

But once you've begun to nest for the winter, you'll probably want to do something (but not everything) again in the spring or summer. Plenty of time to relax in the meantime... Retirement has become full for me, with little space to try to fill.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-5984360014030179982010-11-30T19:37:27.166-08:002010-11-30T19:37:27.166-08:00How exciting to find another genealogy person.

I was contacted by a man who's done extensive work on one of the maternal lines in my family tree. He's a delight to work with. This week we've gone live with the TNG software. We have a lot of work to do but it's more fun when you have someone to share the work with. I'm learning so much. I had seen the TNG software used for a wonderful online database for another family line I deal with. He really liked it so we've embarked on doing something similar. A lot of fun.<br /><br />Bob is not a traveler. I've done international traveling when I was younger and taken some tours in the US but these days I'm content to stay at home.<br /><br />Have fun on all your fun projects.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-8025081785561354782010-11-30T17:44:51.269-08:002010-11-30T17:44:51.269-08:00Linda, a little travel, a little home time, it'...Linda, a little travel, a little home time, it's all good. I feel the same way about my former co-workers. I was struck by how miserable they are. I am so grateful to have the choice to not work there anymore.<br />Jann#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-13827529520862049582010-11-30T17:28:46.917-08:002010-11-30T17:28:46.917-08:00This sounds familiar.

The first were road trips, three weeks in our amazing Southwest, three weeks on our own, driving through Sweden, Norway and Denmark, four weeks on our own driving in Germeny, Austria and a bit of Switzerland. Previous to retiring we had spent three weeks in England and Wales, again driving and on our own. Finally we signed on for two back to back Viking river boat cruises in the Netherlands, Belguim and France, with a week in between on our own, using public transportation (trains). Our last trip was a nine day road trip in Arizona. We fly to a destination and then rent a car. <br /><br />This year we did not take a big trip, and so far we don't have one planned for 2011. We fly to Denver three times a year to see our daughter and grandkids, and we have family recreational properties on the Oregon Coast and on Whidbey Island. <br />I think we have satisfied the travel urge. I want to travel more in the future, but I am no longer compelled to do so.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
