Retired and loving it. OR the adventures of Phil C

Gday gang

I have now been on the pension bludge for 14 months (thats 1 year and 2 months).

What a year 2016 has been.

13 weeks going to and from Perth via all sorts of wonderful places. Spending a few weeks in Wilpena Pound (spectacular) a few weeks on the Eyre Peninsular and then home.

2017 will be a bit less busy. We are paying off a very big cruise in 2018 to Seattle then Alaska with all the trimmings. Found out that Emerates flys direct to Adelaide via the North Pole, down the guts of Russia to Dubai, then a 7 hour lay over then another 12 hours to home. Will be booking that one for sure! Then I can say we have been around the world....awwawwawwaww

Same report this time next year.. be good or santa will leave a lump of coal...

Love to all from us....

Way to go! We had a great year of traveling in 2016 as well. We always include a flight trip away every year, it makes a nice change from dragging a ''box on wheels'' around all the time. Ain't retirement wonderful!
