Love this article! What a spirit of adventure you've got! I am thoroughly enjoying my retirement, too, only in a different way.

My husband and I own a second home at a lake, so we love going there to kayak, boat, hike in the moutains, etc. We also bought 117 acres and have enjoyed exploring it, adding a gravel road, and possible selling some lots.

My husband is really into travel, so we're going on lots of big trips now that Covid is behind us. Plus, we do volunteer work and we have 12 grandchildren that we try to interact with from time to time.

No time for recliners! We are in our seventies and want to go while we can. I spent a couple of years of my retirement taking care of my mother with dementia until she passed away, and we have seen a lot of our friends become too ill to travel. So we are living each day as fully as we can while we can.
