Good luck on your retirement mate - I retired 4 years ago when I was 60 - highly recommended ! Also been thinking about going to a Grand Prix - would love to go to the Monaco GP. As regards holidays for this year we're giving Portugal ( Algarve ) a try next month for a week ( never been there ) and then our real love ( Thassos / Greece ) for our usual 2 weeks in June . Also want to see a bit more of this country in our old campervan on long weekends - all the things you can do when you're retired - also going to see The Who at the O2 just before we go to Greece - never seen them live - thought we better do this now before either they or we snuff it !
 
Was in Jamaica for some snorkeling and sun back in January. Cultural, scenic and photography trip to Austria in May. Cruise down the American North East coast with the roadster in June. Most likely down to Aruba for another beach vacation in October.

Life is good, enjoy it while you can :D
 
We had a long weekend in NYC back in January.

Off to Singapore and Hong Kong at the beginning of May for 2 weeks. Got a friends wedding to attend in Singapore, then up to Hong Kong to visit some of the other halfs family. Trip has been booked since before Christmas, can't wait!

Am also working on the other half to convince her we should go back to the Caribbean at the end of November/beginning of December, pick another island to visit (We did Antigua in 2011 and St Lucia in 2012 at the same time of year... nice bit of sunshine just before Christmas!). Although we've just bought a house, so that might need to be skipped I think!

Other than that, will probably have a weekend or 2 in Holland visiting friends and making sure my tenants haven't trashed my house!!
 
Disneyworld Florida with the kids for the first (and probably last!) time. I went in 1986, but think it might have changed a bit since then.
 
Off to Iceland to see friends in june. Then off to Thailand to see more friends in November its going to be a great year!!
