One hour later...
« on: July 31, 2015, 02:54:10 AM »

Well, it is done!

I downloaded everything I could think of to my successor, called my favorite clients to say goodbye, attended a farewell dinner, surrendered my security pass, dropped the the Blackberry down the toilet, the Big Boss came out of the corner office to walk me out and the gang clapped me off the trading floor.

Feels very strange..I haven't had more than two weeks in a row off in decades.

The plane leaves for New Zealand in 48 hours..

Congrats!  What an amazing feeling.  :D
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

"dropped the the Blackberry down the toilet"

That's just awesome! Kudos to the destination, too.

Enjoy the Land of the Long White Cloud and whatever/wherever comes after that! Also, If you haven't watched "The World's Fastest Indian" the story of Kiwi Burt Monro, played by Anthony Hopkins, do so as soon as you can, it's a treat.
