I take 3-4 vacations a year. Most are 10 days or less. I do still work while traveling but not nearly like I work when I’m at home. I’m very fortunate that my son can run projects while I’m away.
When I’m home I work a lot. In the office early then out on job sites the. Work when I get home usually. But I love what I do so the amount of time I put in doesn’t bother me. I reward myself with awesome trips. When I’m at home I’m at work or I’m at home.

Cheers, sorry didn’t mean to come off so abrupt before. It was mostly sarcasm just saying you seem to be always traveling out of the country! Goodfor you.
I would agree with your current life big time.
Too many people seem to want to work and then stop. This doesn’t make any sense. Taper it off, enjoy a combination of both. Going from 40+ hours a week to 0 is not an easy transition. Working 15-25 hours a week still allows all kinds of time for golf, hobbies, traveling, etc.
Eta: this is one area boomers screwed up. They are being laid off because they expect a full salary while not being as fully capable as someone in their 40s and early 50s. Cut it back, cut your hours back, and look for roles using your experience and knowledge you have.

Cheers mate.. this is great for you. Many of my work trips are to vacation areas and I am able to add some extra days to it and people give me a hard time about always traveling, but they don't understand how much work I do there or how much I have to do at home in order to be ahead of the game so I can take these work trips.
Most of the people that complain (at work) are the ones that are just doing enough to get by.
