Living Our Retirement Dream
Our seventh year of travelling is now underway. After retiring in August 2006 with a 'Five Year Plan', it seems it's morphed into a 'Ten Year Plan' or a 'Rest Of Our Lives Plan'. You might think that we've 'seen it all' by now, but we still think of that next destination, just over the hill...
We travelled through the Nordic countries, the Baltic states and then through much of Eastern Europe. After a white Christmas in Canada, we head to Central and South America to warm our frozen fingers and toes. What a way to enjoy Lucky Year Seven!
Tennyson said it all in his famous poem 'Ulysses':
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone; ...
I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move.
Vicki Lalonde Kapoor Anil Kapoor
