You're right to realize that it wasn't a "sad day", but a great one because of all the both of you have accomplished. Heck, just managing to leave the job and the town is a huge accomplishment! I don't know how long we'll stay in Florida, but just getting there will be success!Mid-Life Cruising!http://www.mid-lifecruising.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899528806545725735.post-63892876925273777392013-06-03T00:41:22.597-04:002013-06-03T00:41:22.597-04:00Plans change and you adjusted your sails....seems ...Plans change and you adjusted your sails....seems like good training for the real thing - cruising.<br /><br />~~_/)~~<br />Sabrina <br />s/v Honey Ryder Caliber 40 LRCSabrina and Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460271699538815720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899528806545725735.post-51208890213657092932013-06-02T20:41:44.616-04:002013-06-02T20:41:44.616-04:00great, Great, GREAT!
I did something similar with...great, Great, GREAT!<br /><br />I did something similar with my job. At 49, I went in one day and told 'em to take this good job and shove it. The retirement was just enough to live on if I was careful. Fortunately, a friend of friend got me a job contracting for awhile and I saved enough money to begin dabbling in the stock market. Many mistakes there but eventually I learned to make some money doing that.<br /><br />Hope you all the best!David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899528806545725735.post-64814398232014014952013-06-02T14:51:53.607-04:002013-06-02T14:51:53.607-04:00I look forward to that day.

I'm sure there's a few things we left out of the blogs that we can talk about :)Latitude 43https://www.blogger.com/profile/09482326023480150403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899528806545725735.post-32035898431205091692013-06-01T23:46:00.481-04:002013-06-01T23:46:00.481-04:00As I read your post, the similarities between your...As I read your post, the similarities between your plans and experiences and ours are startling. Our reason for giving up the northern route plan were a little different though. We decided that we didn't want to be pinned down by the rather narrow weather window in getting from Chicago to Annapolis via the St. Lawrence Seaway. Nearly all sailing misadventures occur from people trying to meet or beat a schedule and we didn't want to be one of them. With Tim's job situation now, though, I'm really glad we decided against that approach. <br /><br />Looking forward to sharing sundowners with you soon,<br /><br />Deb<br />S/V Kintala<br />www.theretirementproject.blogspot.comDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093436662653044390noreply@blogger.com
