    Hey all,
    We're getting ready for a "reach" in May.
    When we planned it, the trip was just another trip (nothing in that statement is meant to diminish the experience of a trip to "da rock").

    Since then I went on "my social security.com" and found out I can afford to retire.
    I have spent the last 27 years working deep "in the belly of the beast" (i.e. Prison).
    20+years of locking every door behind me is over.
    20+years spent out of the sun . . .
    You get the idea.
    I was a teacher and think I may have done some good, but that is neither here or there.
    I'm done with it now and starting a new chapter.

    To the board:
    Thanks for the opportunity for catharsis!

    We're staying @ Catcha and hope we get to cross paths with any boardies down there in late May.
    Soon come!

    PS words fail to express my feelings but I can't think of a better place (or a better community of people) to kick off my retirement than Negril.

    You have spent decades doing God's work in a much under-appreciated environment. Now you have earned your retirement and every trip to Negril! Super excited for you (and slightly jealous!). This reach will be like no other - the sun will be brighter, the water will be bluer, the Red Stripe will be colder - all in celebration of your wonderful accomplishment. Congratulations!

    Kind words indeed, thank you.
    I will report back on the blueness of the water and the temp of the Red Stripes.

    Thanks, but I am sorry to hear that you won't be there (we arrive on the 20th).
    I was hoping to run into you accidentally (again).
