The only thing is,
Mortgage paid off,
Kids left home , and independent,
Draw your pension,
You realise how old you are,
Retire, and lots of travelling I think,

Do it while you are fit and healthy.

You might think you are well off but you are of that generation.... born to post war parents.
Don't light the candles and you can use them for your 69th birthday and your 99th.
I always think seeing your posts that you are to old grain stores what Fred Dibnah was to mill chimneys, Surely you must have nearly made them extinct ?

We are well off, compared to the next generation,
As my Dad said to me just before he passed away at 93,
‘Boy I’ve had a good time,’
Could only agree,

No, unfortunately we're short on time. Spending some time with daughter and partner at beginning and end.
Would like to say we intend coming back to do North Island and a bit more of south....... but will probably have to wait until wife retires, so we can go for a decent amount of time - next time........ it's a hell of a long way to go, so 4 weeks-ish would be ideal
Does your daughter and partner live in nz?
Go and see the artwork on the beach at Hokitika it’s all out of driftwood .

Working out here and travelling around. They're hoping to do parts of Australia too
We have a route planned, with places to see and are using an app to sort sites out...... when not "freedom camping"
