jacana54 (X) Uruguay English to Spanish + ... country house | Jun 24, 2007 |
I vote for a house in the country, with horses, sheep and a garden with all the vegetables that will go in my soup. It´s good to think about these options ! | | |

So, It isn't just me! | Jun 24, 2007 |
Good to know that the majority went for traveling. I believe that we, translators, spend a LOT of time in a confined space, interacting with machines, buttons and walls. No wonder we crave for traveling, exploring and seeing "PEOPLE". | |

Paola Giardina Argentina Local time: 07:53 Member (2006) English to Spanish + ... Traveling is the best option. | Jun 24, 2007 |
For me, travelling would be the best option... If only I could do it now...I'm thinking about buying a notebook, since our work allows us to do it anywhere... What about translating while going on a safary trip?, or proofreading while surfing the Pacific Ocean? Too much work turns me a little crazy, don't you think? I think I should get in touch with people more often...this "Lobo Estepario" mood...ja ja. Have a nice weekend.

Definitely traveling! | Jun 24, 2007 |
But not just when we retire. We want to travel NOW! Maybe next year we're traveling to England, Spain and France to visit family and friends. Have a nice weekend! Leticia | | |

As usual the poll does not enable the answer one would like to give. I say yes to all, and I already have all those options except the Nursing Home... ...where I hope I never end up. | | |

...meaning at home, wherever it may be, AND traveling. I wonder who has voted for "nursing home"! And why?? | |

Doing any one thing to the exclusion of all others sounds depressing.

I voted that I will not retire | Jun 24, 2007 |
However, when I am old, I would like to work only days, and not nights as well - possibly also only 5-6 days per week. Astrid | | |
