Thanks to all that have helped me over the years with questions and gear issues. I had to take a long look in the mirror and come to grips with the fact I have way too much gear, that I can't use to the fullest extent, and I'm not ever going to get published.
It's a tough pill to swallow that I won't ever be able to cover sporting events and races and get a photo in print which I have chased for 10 years now. I'm going to step into some form of mirrorless so I can still take photos while I travel but I don't need 4 bags and $3000 worth of gear to make it happen. So once my gear is gone I'll slip away from the forum for good .
Thank you everyone from all around the globe. I wish you all prosperity and good health

Sorry to hear of your disappointment but understand your reason for selling your heavy gear.
For differnt reasons ( retirement) I too am selling off a lot of my Nikon gear. Like Jonathan I have a Fuji X system and it's very high quality. But there's something about a DSLR SIZE body. I have bought a D750 my wife bought a Panasonic Fz1000EB bridge camera. With 20mp it's unquestionable a high quality still and video camera and the 24-400mm fixed Leica lens is superb. The whole camera and lens weighs lens than a consumer DSLR... so ideal for travelling.
Good luck
