Saying goodbye to friends and colleagues

We have been so excited to move on with our plans - to experience the freedom of not having to work anymore, the adventure of travel, the excitement of a new home in a new area. Ah, but there is more to life than looking forward - and as the joy of not having to work hasn't really registered yet - I have been feeling sad this week from the seperation of so many beloved friends and colleagues. 

The exchange of emotion was heartening and the separation is bittersweet. I will miss you all so much. The multiple send-off gatherings, the cards, the poems, the gifts. I am attaching a few photos below that were forwarded to me from the Cambie Team. That was an awesome send-off everyone!

Thanks everyone. We will be checking in soon.

Heck yeah, we retired at the end of July!

Rikki and I decided to sell our Vancouver condo at a nice profit to fund my early retirement (Freedom 56!). In just the past month we bought an RV and a house in Nova Scotia. We plan to live in Nova Scotia in the summers and travel the rest of the year in our new RV. We look forward to spending more time with our families and friends in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. I look forward to planning trips and Rikki looks forward to many more hours behind the camera!
