December 2013 almost there

I love this site! The information, tips, suggestions, opinions, and humor are super. I am single and 57 and looking forward to December 2013 as my launch time. As a longtime educator, I am looking forward to leaving behind the insane activity and involvement level of a school and having time to travel extensively and become more involved in hiking and nature activities. I have saved and invested and with a pension I think money wise I will be set. I continue to read books and websites and contemplate the next chapter of my life. So looking forward to it and learning more from the wonderful people here.
