The flexibility in my position allows us the ability to travel and do the things we enjoy in the summers. This board is a wealth of information and would love some assistance in making this decision. If it were you, would you continue working part time or would you take the full time position (which would allow you to get to TOTV a year sooner)?

As long as you enjoy working I would rather ease into retirement. Keep working part time but start doing some of the things you would do in retirement.
The unknown for a lot of us is far will our money go and how will the economy effect our income. Thus the leaning toward easing into retirement, especially at your young age. If finances will not be a problem then I would retire earlier as long as you will enjoy your new life style.
