In 2003 myself and 1049 others were outsource along with the Banks network to EDS. My wife turned 62 and retired from the bank and we bought a retirement home 70 miles North of Seattle. I worked and traveled at/from home for three years until I was 62 and retired from the Bank officially and EDS on the same day. Never looked back.
The first two years we traveled in Western States in the fall. Then for eight years we have wintered in Arizona.
Last year at this time we sold our boat after 19th years with it, and bought a new 3500 RAM SRW. In the spring we sold the Cardinal 5th wheel and purchased a new Bighorn 5th wheel.
THEY DW sold the retirement home to another customer in the chair next to her at a beauty salon and we moved into the Bighorn(short version of a long story). We have a RV membership lot in Washington as a Sunbird site and bought the one across the street for ability to have a second shed, visitors and additional parking.
DW wants to buy a park model in our Arizona Snowbird park when we get there next month.
We stay pretty busy. We just finish up my last Yacht Club official function hosting the "past commodores" September monthly dinner for 97 members.
So at 72 and 75 we are off on another chapter of our retirement. Changing official resident address, get a mail service, working out the many details for full timing has kept us busy, along with cruising around the RV park in our golf cart. Recently put an enclosure on it with lift off doors for warm weather.
Our health is pretty good(AKA manageable, I have my own medicare provided PT/INR meter to manage my Warfaran/blood clotting) and we worked hard cleaning up the new lot. Doctor just gave 75 year old DW a clean bill of health(she has been on heart medicine for 15+ years).
Big decision this week is which day to go see movie Sully! Which grocery store to go to and how many times will we drop by the mail box location.
I have some electrical work to do on the new lot. Wouldn't have time for a real job!
