Phase 1 of The 4 Phases of Retirement, by Riley Moynes, is the the vacation phase.
"The early, carefree, "holiday" phase of retirement." Sleeping later, reading, travel, exercise, etc..
I'm now a month and 2 days into retirement and have actually slept in a couple of mornings until 7 am!
I've read a few books (highly recommend From Strength to Strength, by Arthur Brooks, given to me by good friends).
Some travel plans are approaching.
And, I've exercised a lot.
Multiple walks, Core work, Pickleball games, Driving range outings, Swimming, Strength training, Yoga classes, and a fair amount of yard work.
My only set back was from a Yoga class.
I misread the schedule, thought I was doing a "restorative" class but accidently found myself in a "body synergy" class and strained my back.
I always try and hide my injuries whenever possible.
However, my wife noticed I was spending more time, than is usual, alternating between an ice pack and a heating pad on my back while watching TV.
She asked what was wrong.
I told her.
She kept a concerned look but I'm pretty sure she was sort of amused that I could strain my back doing Yoga but, honestly, so am I!
