    Most of us have some ideal place we would like to retire to, Spain, France, Leitrim:D.
    For me it would be Montenegro, have a lot of friends over there, weather is great, scenery is breathtaking and the people are lovely.
    So Boardsies, where would you like to retire to?

    PS , Can the mods please ban the first fúker whose answer is "Stud":D:D:D

    actually already planned retirement in a nice cottage in Languedoc, France.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen

    Love to visit Montenegro.

    Barcelona or San Fran (if I was minted) for me.

    Ibiza and be the crazy ol' coot who parties down with all the young 'uns.

    I'll be called Crazy Grandpa and I'll wear a Hawaiian shirt, I'll get into all sorts of wacky situations which will make people put their hands on their hips and shake their head in a "Ho, ho.......that's our crazy grandpa!" manner.

    Outside of 80's movie fantasy, I'd probably be harrased and arrested for being a potential sexual deviant :(

    Either Broome, in Western Australia, or somewhere on the gold coast.

    Perfect climate, beautiful scenery, one of the nicest places on earth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 241 ✭✭Ava_e


    Devon for me, my grandas family are originally from there. It's got gorgeous weather, scenery a lovely laid back lifestyle and chill people. Bliss.

    I'm with MCM. California without a doubt, and Santa Barbara would be number 1 choice. Amazing place and nice distance from everywhere else

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭Madam


    The hills of east Donegal and a little Pied-à-terre in Paris for the summer months.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    Folks are already in South of France so I suppose I'll live in the house there, what a life...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    Id probably either stay here but move somewhere quiet and beside a beach, just complete relaxation and no people hassle :)
    Or else move to New York, i know it doesnt sound like the ideal retirement place to say the least, but if money was no object I would just love to get an apartment with a big view overlooking the sea and as much of the NYC lights as possable, sitting back in comfy leather seats/couch, swirling some brandy, yeah that would be awesome! :D

    Yeah, if chicks with dicks is your tang.

    For me it would have to be Lourdes, sure you'd never get sick.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible


    Retire to the drawing room


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 530 ✭✭✭scullersky


    The playboy mansion of course...... ;-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 sarah42012


    Malta probable, a lot of people retire out there. Cheap living, good weather, friendly people and close to Italy.

    Beautiful place!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭mahonykid


    The moon.
    Such beautiful scenery

    Where would you retire to?
    I would (and plan to) return to Nice, Southern France.
    * http://www.world66.com/europe/france/midi/cotedazur/nice
    * http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/album.php?albumid=571

    A place that is simply breathtakingly beautiful. Easy to live in and so much to do and see in the old French quarter daily alone (There is also a modern section, a luxury section and a huge Roman ancient section), so many historic areas in and around it, so many places like museums (12+) and galleries, so many different local clubs and organisations and much more.

    For retirement - its top of the list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Id like to retire to the Wicklow area. Out of the hustle n bustle but still close enough to the city. Its a shame people cant really retire to the country side in Ireland because of the amount of hospitals closing down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave

    Probably somewhere in Devon, it's a beautiful part of the world, or maybe somewhere in Italy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Ideally if I get to that stage in life I'd like to spend my summers here in Ireland and my winters on a Med island like Corsica or Sardinia.

    I know its war torn, and rarely at peace. But in a heart beat I'd retire to Lebanon

    Its a stunningly beautiful country with some of the friendliest people I've met anywhere in the world.

    Failing that, Cyprus.

    Is that you Ron?

    I've worked in Montenegro, it wouldn't be a bad place to retire, but I think I'd enjoy Slovenia more.

    Edit: Where in Montenegro? If you were in Budva over the summer, we probably met.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,330 ✭✭✭✭Dodge


    Miami. See can I bag myself one of them Golden Girls


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    France for the winter, and then somewhere in Ireland near the sea for the winter. Waterford probably.

    I am getting excited already!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve

    Yeah you can, just pick an area close to a large hospital that's still open :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    If I ever retire there's no ****ing way I'm gonna be tied to the one place, you wouldn't see me for dust, I'd be like The Littlest Hobo, further on down the road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave




    Arent you great craic altogether
