Not flying ... but

Although not connected to flying I wanted to share my excitement with fellow travel nuts.
I am retiring in June & as my wife & I love cruise holidays we have just booked a 4 month round the world cruise departing January 2018 to celebrate the occasion. Only just over 12 months to prepare so had better get cracking.

What a lovely way to celebrate. And plenty of time for anticipation!
Early congrats on your approaching retirement.
Good luck.

What a lovely way to start off your retirement.
I hope it will be the first of many enjoyable extended holidays.

Many congratulations. Enjoy the planning and build-up to what sounds like an amazing few months. It will fly by and 2018 will be with us sooner than we all realise.

Congratulations.
Enjoy your cruise.
All those I know find retirement to be very busy and don't know how they ever found the time to go to work.

Hi, which ship are you doing it on? We like to book segments of world cruises and may see you on board.

I used to have the same reaction to your other half to the suggestion of cruising, I am now though totally converted. We have my ideal holiday coming up in February i.e. Virgin UC return flights to Miami with a Caribbean cruise out from & back to Fort Lauderdale

Many friends have told me the same Dick D, in fact my wife who retired in June has just said similar in a text she sent me while out having lunch with friends.

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement old! I took early retirement earlier this year and have never looked back...
Downside is more time and flexibility to plan trips. Did I say downside??!! ;)
