I voted more than one - learn to do the tango and line dance, learn to write good poetry and to paint impressionist water colours and to pursue more of what I already do or have done, i.e. my family history, cycling, master the violin and piano, join a music group and maybe also a choir, complete some good quality cross-stitches and patchwork quilts to hand down to my children as family heirlooms. Like Birmi I'd love to retire with another dog but couldn't bear being tied, always having to plan months ahead just to go away for a weekend.

I voted "other". Im thinking probably I'll go and do volunteer work.

I'd like to travel if I have the money. I'd like to do more gardening, and learn a language or two. And outdoor activities are hopefully in the picture.
