Yeah, this. 10 more years to minimum retirement age. Would like to do it that early on, but I think it's more likely I'll end up having to work to the usual 65 (or whatever the modified age is where I can also start withdrawing Social Security). In the meantime, I'm getting by with 1 cruise a year (but doing to my best to make each one as memorable as possible via itinerary).

PocketsRN Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Be glad you're where you are. I've got 30 years yet, and by the time I get there, they'll probably have pushed it out another 10 or 15... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting close myself 8 years (would love to be able to retire at 62) but will have to go to 65 so I can get on medicare. Plan is to take at least 1 cruise per year with maybe 2 occasionally.

PocketsRN Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Getting the itch to add #8 now, trying to restrain myself. And nevermind being productive after the cruise, try the last week before. Got 4 days to go, at work now, and all I'm doing is sitting at the desk, looking at the cruise schedule. Spent the last few work nights sitting at the desk browsing excursions for what I already have booked. Sweety and BTE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the closer that I get to my cruise the more useless I become at work. I’m just glad that the firewall at my jobs allow this website as well as RCCL through otherwise I’d be in trouble!!

"borrow" a document folder so I have all my hard copies together, in order and right where I can grab them when I need them.

I just wish we had a color printer so that my luggage tags would be pretty (I know, they don't HAVE to be colored, but.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketsRN Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Lol, I was thinking the same thing! I keep copies of all my papers, for my, uh, scrapbook, I guess you can say, and those I usually reprint at home so I have them in color.

I found out that if you only need to print things once every 3-4 months an ink jet printer is absolutely useless and opted for a laser printer.

PocketsRN Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ok, I can definitely say I am more productive after a cruise. Got back on the 27th, and can say this past week's been one of the most productive I've had in a while. A couple days ago I noticed a change, though. I sail again on Friday, and seems the post-cruise euphoria from one wore off just in time to transition straight into the pre-cruise anxiety of the next, and I'm in full-blown useless mode again.
