My thoughts exactly with one exception. If my wife ever wants me to go on a Cruise with her, I will be in a Urn.
IMHO that is the biggest waste of time and money a person could ever embark on.
Now put me on a Mt. Top hunting Elk, A Swamp in Northern Saskatchewan hunting Bear or WhiteTail,
A boat in the Middle of Saginaw Bay or Lake Erie catching Walleye or Lake Michigan landing 20 lb. King Salmon I’d be all in.
That and I really want to spend some time right at rush hour driving the busy roads doing 45 mph looking at everything but the road. Hit the convienence stores to hold up the line picking 16 different scratch off Lottery tickets, demanding my senior discount and asking the clerk to explain the receipt because I can’t see too good.:)
Then forget the cruise, get an RV. Flaunt your retirement excesses! After 35 years on the job, we earned it!
