I agree....travel when you can. Dont wait until you retire. A couple of reasons, Your health may not allow you to. Its hard to travel on a limited retirement income. You may not want to then. Do it while you can and you have an income( sometimes 2) and the energy. I have spent a lot of money in my day on travel, and have not regretted a penny ( I guess in Canada its a nickle) So do it now folks...just do it...
