I'll be retired in about 3 years. I'm 55 in April and "could" take my STW pension in April but there's a few financial penalties to consider if I take it early. At 60 it's a no brainer I'm gone - but I might go before then anyway

One thing certainly happening will be I'm gonna bugger off on one of these long cruises.

We'll start with a 30 nighter USA/Canada

After that i'd like one of these 100 night jobbies

Sounds perfect Mike

Whilst I'm working time is a stumbling block, but it's certainly something I'll be doing

The Olympic Games in Brisbane in 2032 is also on the radar

Are you going with P & O Worm? I've been with Royal Caribbean once, but all the others with P & O.

I think i've been on every ship in their fleet now

You can't fault the food on P & O. It's exceptional

Never been with TUI, but our neighbour goes annually with them and only says good things about it

Tips are included too with P & O and you can buy various drink packages if you're so inclined

Personally that's not an issue for the wife and I. Neither of us are drinkers

Last time alcohol passed my lips was 1999
