Trevor You should get the feel of traveling . Go stand at the letter box at the end of the driveway then all you have to do is decide which way to go . Then just keep going , you will love it . Go Make Dust
rotareI think you asked the question well, for retirement you need to plan as its a life change and to some it can seem daunting and those people will generally stay with what they are comfortable with, keep on working. Its no good retiring if your going to do nothing, thats the quickest way to die. In hindesite I wish I had retired 10 years ago when my health was a bit better as there are more things I would like to have done but its now or never.As for your father, he possibly doesnt have an ambition to travel or do something different than his work and therefore its easier to just stay doing what he possibly likes, and there is nothing wrong with that if thats what he is happy with. Maybe youneed to introduce him to something else and he might change his mind. For your question is retirement as good as its made out to be, only you can answer that for yourself as everyone has a different agends on what they propose to do with it. Myself, I want the change, to do something for myself in my own time with no, of few strings attached and travelling the country is it. I dont want the cities, just the remote areas and solitude of nature at its best.
... and is there anything specific you are aiming to see?
Middle of March next year is my time. Live in the Alice and will be doing a whole lot of desert tracks. Also have a Ulysses AGM in 2014 to help organize so will be busy as for the first couple of years. Anyone coming up our way drop us a line and we will show you around the place.Ross
