We were recently on our way home from a daughter's house after spending a long weekend there, when the First Mate was going over the list of things we had to do within a couple of days of getting home. She finally said, "There's a lot of appeal to just moving to a new location. That way we could sever at once all of the connections that put demands on our time. Then we could do what we want while reestablishing ties in a more planned and orderly fashion."
We're not going to do that, of course, but there is some appeal. Do your friends, relatives, and others with whom you have regular contact tend to expect you to do more for them now that "you're retired and have nothing to do?" If you can't say no, and that's hard for some of us, that can really put a kink in your travel chain, especially your spontaneity. | 
We always went holidays before we retired and now we are we just go more!
