Francey, if I were you I would do just that. Travel to many places, have fun, and check out where you might want to stay in case your health went downhill. I hope you stay healthy a long time!

This may be more widespread now, but its not exactly new. My ex-husband and I were laid off in the early 90s. I got another job in about two weeks. He was determined to use up all his unemployment benefits before working again.
