Thanks for all the nice replys. No doubt that some of the retirement planning info on this forum contributed to my decision. I hope that I can return the favor by sharing experience that I gain in the critical early years of my retirement.

Hogwild,
Retire in the heat and just wear swimming trunks the rest of the summer as everyone else drags back to work! Congratulations!

Jump right in, the waters fine
I jumped in March 02 of this year. It will be interesting to see how it works for those of us retiring in the current financial world. (Didn't use the 'R' word)
