Kind of tongue in cheek, but you always hear about people's retirement bucket list.
At 68 plus and more retired than working, but still working, here is my don't want to do anymore bucket list. Please add your favs
1) Done with cruising, just not a cruising guy
2) Done with overseas trips, just cannot take those long flights anymore
3) Done with Zip lining
4) Done with crowds and waiting in line
5) Done (mostly) with high end restaurants, high price ok food, not worth it IMHO

2) and 4) agree.
I'll keep the other 3 on my "why not" list.
Not the response you requested. Sorry.
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

1- Wife gets seasick easily, so...
2- Never had the desire. Too much to see here.
3- That's something I would like to try!
4- Totally agree.
5- The 'fanciest' restauarant we go to is Olive Garden. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

The OP is asking what other 'what not to do things' due to retirement.... I'll add
1) Done with climbing on the roof
2) Done with high ladders
3) Done with mowing all 5 Acres, just around the house and hiring out the rest. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

I'm a ham radio opr...I have to get on the roof occasionally. But I fell off a ladder a few years back so I'm between a rock and a hard place with that.
As for the lawn...heck, we have a tiny front yard and a heavily shaded/wooded small backyard where grass doesn't grow. We've hired out the lawn cutting for 30+ years now. Hired out the snow removal starting back in '15, too. Maybe I was semi-retired before I retired.

At 87 years old I have done all that I wanted to do.
Now I just have to beat this cancer and get back to bike riding and walking

I have to add: 'Being Done' with those activities does NOT mean becoming inactive. There are many health issues, mental and physical, if one ceases to be active in our retirement years. That being said, I still spend time in the workshop and for the past two years have been playing Pickleball 5 mornings a week for a couple of hours; in addition to competing in the Senior Olympics at the district and state level. . Being 81 really isn't so bad afterall.

I agree with most of "done with it" posted here.
At my age when I'm done with something, I don't miss it at all. It was nice going at the time but honestly "Been there, done that" sums it all up.

Cruising? Talking about bunch old/classic cars get together? Might drop by. But many a night in working life a slept in my truck instead of going to hotel/motel. Can't see where that hotel floating would be better.
Overseas travel? The only time I have flown to someplace I wanted to be was home from someplace I didn't go by choice.
I think when it comes to a RV site "lawn" is a dirtier word than the name of game I can't type. Working, free time was too valuable to spend on 1. When retired I bought pawnshop mower, fired the pro

Snow. I do not want to mess with snow anymore. So we snowbird every winter.
Stay out all night partying. I will leave that for the younger crowd.
Drive for 12 hours in the RV to spend one night someplace. I now prefer to drive less per day and take longer to get there.
Binge watch TV. We watch the news, and a few favorite shows. Other than that, it is off.

So many campsites, so little time...
