When DH left work after 30 years of rotating shifts, weekends, holidays etc. as he was walking out the door someone said "so where are you going?"
He replied "home." Like in to read the paper, go to the YMCA, tend the gardens etc. They meant like move to SC or Florida (we live in the snow belt).
In this past year, neither of us have felt like travelling anywhere or moving anywhere, we are very happy with our lives. We did travel all over the US and several places abroad during our work years, but the thought of getting on a plane just doesn't interest us. Even in this awful weather I am so happy not to have to get up to shovel and fight the traffic to the city it makes my day. Someone even told us we were depressed. Of course I think we are happier than we ever have been. We do visit the kids and enjoy that, both are less than a days drive away, which is fun but I wouldn't move to be closer to them, they have their own lives and could relocate at any time.
So, with all the talk about travel, motorhomes, moving to warmer climates how many people just stayed put? This is where our life is.
