Retirement is fantastic. I retired first in 2000, prepped my house for sale, moved to the Virginia mountains, and went back to work at a different kind of job, but one I really enjoyed. Put in 7 years there working for a city, but left in 2008 when the city was strapped for money and retired again... Although I still do some work on the side just to keep my hand in.
Retirement is wonderful, except you wonder how you had time to work. Between my 113 acres, church and volunteer work, I rarely have time for the leisure retirement is supposed to be about... But I prefer it that way.
Congrats.
