RETIREMENT

So, we're about 8 months into retirement now. So how is it?

Buggered if we know; we're too busy doing shit to think about that!

The house renovations have stalled; we simply haven't had time. And when we DID have time, the tradies didn't get back to us.

"Yeah, no probs. We'll get a quote back to you in a coupla days". Never happened.

So, OK ... next year maybe.

Meanwhile, since I last wrote, we've had two weeks in Broome, two weeks in Bali, an 11-day Cairns to Cairns cruise, 6 days in FNQ with my brother and sister-in-law. In 6 weeks we fly to the USA: LA, Vegas, NYC, WA State, home about 3/1/17.

Then 11/1/17 (That's 11 Jan, 1 November for my American friends!), we cruise from Sydney to South America (38 days).

Home on 22 Feb and out again for a cruise NYC up the east coast to the St Lawrence Seaway and Quebec and Montreal in early May.

But then ... NOTHING! :-(

Thinking we may have to ride the bike over east again in, say, August/September.

So, renovations and house sale?

Yeah, whatever!
