Sitting at DIA waiting to board my final flight. Finally moving to my son's in Maine. No regrets in leaving !!! It was time for me. Loved Colorado when I moved there 45 years ago but the attraction has faded slowly over the years and accelerated the last 10. So I bid farewell to the state and wish you all the best. Staglefty
Good luck and happy trails in your new location.
Good luck on this new chapter in your life. It was a pleasure knowing you, if only from your forum posts. Godspeed.
Good luck and hope all goes well. If my sons/grandkids were not here I too would leave when I retire next year.
Where in Maine? It's an awesome state!
Good luck, glad to hear you will be enjoying family.
You're of course always welcome, the site is practically half expat anyway.
Enjoy your next chapter. Some of us might be a teeny bit envious. Let us know how you like it, I'm sure others are looking.
That's the position the bride and I are in. I wasn't planning to retire for 3 more years, but due to the environment (toxic) at work over the last couple of years, I plan to retire early next year. Because my kids and grandkids are here, we are unwilling to relocate. Now, if I can find a way to get them to join us someplace else, we'll move in a heartbeat. Colorado is no longer the state I fell in love with as a child.Quote:

Stan you will be missed but goddamn good for you!
Who will I get to test the cat food now?
If you need a hood ‘Smith in Maine I actually know one up there.
Safe travels.
Only been to Maine once and loved it. Say hi to Tucker.
Not the same CO I moved to in '95. Thought it would be my forever state. Maybe one day...
I'm in Belfast which to me is a great small coastal town.Quote:

Good luck on the next adventure!
The only things I know about Maine is what I have read in Stephen King novels.
Stay safe... and avoid a little town called Derry.

One of my medics was from there and went back after he was medically retired.
He says they're headed down the same path CO is. GLWT.
Glad you landed in a good place.[Beer]Quote:
