[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. When we're about 53, the plan is that DH and I are retiring and cruising the islands.

Good luck to all of you older parents on here! It takes a special kind. I couldn't imagine.[/quote]

We did that in our 20s as singles and our 30s together. I see my parents limping along on retirement cruises and I didn't want to do that. But as others have said, people have different time lines.

Go to China and Egpyt, two of my favorites. Enjoy!  [/quote]

Us too.

We were childless by choice (and high earning DINks) from 26-35.

We traveled extensively (and first class due to miles!).  We took a year long sabbatical to party and live in Europe.  Life was fantastic--ran with the ups, live parade, tomato fest, Oktoberfest, etc.  nightclubs with no closing times in Barcelona.  None of these things compatible with 50+ year olds.  It's a different kind of travel.

Glad I got to experience young and pretty.  Doing it some with kids.  I still plan to travel in 50s/60s, btw.[/quote]

Good for you.  I'm trying to think of how many 26-35 year old people I know (or have known) that were able to go on year long, European, partying sabbaticals like that and....not a one.  I can't even think of one in that age group that went on a month long partying sabbatical.

Clearly, if you don't know such people, they must not exist. :roll: [/quote]

You quit your high paying jobs to party for an entire year?  O.k.[/quote]

Dh and I planned/saved to travel for 8 mos (not quite one yr but it was how it worked out). [/quote]
