I lived 300 miles from Paris for 2 years and never managed to get there. I went to a lot of OTHER places in western Europe, but never got to Paris.

The conundrum of work/retirement is this: when you have the money, you don't have the time and when you have the time you don't have the money.

But there are so many other things to do.................. it's just a matter of fitting them in at the right times. It's never too late.
