It feels really odd reaching 75. I still camp out a whole bunch, travel, motorcycle tour, hike, run/walk a treadmill 5 miles in one hour each day. I am still active due to a whole bunch of really cool meds my docs give me....I have discovered cruising where I can talk with good people from all over the world. But I dont think I could have made it without being pushed along for 39 years by my partner...that's secret one.
(Dont eat at the Red lobster after cruising 12 times....you will be ruined for life)
As many here have said, dont put off things till its too late......one minute you are 37...and then you are not.
Then you retire and its 2007 and you think you have time....but thats an illusion.
Then its 2010 and you still think you have time....but how much?
Just do it. For me, thats cruising. I get to meet interesting people from all over the world...I have 4 cruises in the works....be kind to people..remember everyone has a story and listen to their problems and joys and also talk about yours....and you will have good days and bad days but being isolated at home is not a good day....
Lee is lucky...she has her husband on board....she and I five years ago were on the Oosterdam when the Coast Guard air lifted a crew member off the ship to Hawaii for appendicitis...she is like a mother to all the newbie young ladies that sign up for 8 months of 11 hour days , no sundays off, with a nap break...its a hard life but she still smiles....
And above all, dont let a day go by without telling a special person you love them, even if you are mad at them.....
