I had applied for Civil Service which was a better position, I worked civil service for 21 more years. I than decided I could retire. I retired at age 62, I have been retired for 3 years, so far.
Now I am trying to stay healty and enjoy my retirement. I have a total of 29 years living in Hawaii,I love living here, I have seen and learned about differnt cultures and life styles.
The price of living here is on the high side, because everthing almost, has to be shipped from the main Land (California).
