Anxious to hear your plans!

I've been threatening it for the last six years since I retired once before in the late 90's. Made the mistake of grabbing a "part-time" consulting gig while I waited for Mrs. Cholula to retire. It soon turned into an 80 hour a week job.
The final straw for me was when I added up the number of nights I'd stayed in hotels over the last 35 years and figured I'd been gone from home the equivalent of 13+ years.....
Mrs. C retired from teaching two weeks ago and we agreed now is the time for me to bail and see the rest of the world that we've missed thus far.
Hope to meet and greet a lot of FT'ers as we kick our leisure travel plans into high-gear....
