Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 4862790, member: 750"] I retired when I was 60. My wife retired a few years later. Our first big decision was to leave CT and move to Florida. We did a lot of research before we decided to move. We purchased a home in a 55+ community in central Florida. Best decision we ever made. So many clubs and so many activities. The community has 2 18 hole golf courses, 14 pools, 2 big amenities centers, a softball field with leagues, pickelball and tennis courts. Took some time to sample the clubs, but 7 years later we have it figured out. I started playing my horn, trumpet, regularly and I was in 2 active bands. After a while, I cut down to one band. We play 5 gigs a year to a packed house in out ballroom. I started biking in the community and continue to bike. We both enjoy shooting and joined our gun club. Great group of people and much fun. We both joined our community's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). We are sponsored by our county fire department. CERT keeps us active. We continual train to be able to respond to local disasters such as hurricanes. Seven months ago I became the Team Leader. My wife teaches computers and how to use software. She does class for our community university. She is a church organist and choir director for a local church. We have a travel club that sponsors a wide variety of trips. We've done a couple of cruises, a lot of one week trips. Just finished one to St. Augustine, FL. Going to Daytona Beach next week for 5 days. September is a 10 day trip to the Badlands of the Dakotas. And then there is restaurant hoping with friends. We also have lots of get togethers with our neighbors. At least once a week we gather with 2 or 3 other couples to sit around on the lanai, munch on food, have a couple of drinks and shoot the breeze. Enjoy retirement. Take the time to explore. Enjoy the journey. [/QUOTE]
