Take a ten minute break, and, in your mind, design an imaginary cruise...

Call it your dream cruise!

Age has it's privileges. Retirement.

Ditto, Christmas time and all.

Someone has to be contributing to SS, we can't all be collecting.

That's true!

I thank all the workers who make it possible for us older folks to collect.

@Bruce - don't think I haven't thought about it. I'm an IT geek, I've certainly thought about landside ops at a minimum.

I know a guy who worked as a cruise CD and supposedly was bored and quit .

I would allways tell my kids (boreness comes from within ).

Being bored is something that I don't have time for.

I've had many interesting jobs .If one bored me I quit . I do not miss working but I do miss the people I worked with . I am in e-mail contact with many but due to physical limitations there I only a few that I get together with socially (their limitations,not mine) .
