As you get older, traveling can become less fun and more stressful. Remember when you were having your first child and saying to yourself, when my kids are grown up then I’m going to travel?! Well travel CAN be fun. Don’t let the stress get to you. We’ve got some ideas to help.
1. Travel with a group.
Local visitor bureaus know what is in their backyard! They can help you plan a trip that is tailored toward you and recommend when you might want to visit their area. Santa Fe, New Mexico is a great cultural spot right and has a great online visitors bureau: http://santafe.org/.
3. Stay in someone’s home!
Sometimes hotels cause more havoc then pleasure. Feel at home when you travel! The new thing to do is rent someones home for the week or weekend. Try a site like homeaway.com. Plus, the owners may also give you some great tips on local restaurants and “off-the-beaten” path suggestions.
Share with us! Traveled on an ElderTrek or recommend another group to travel with? Been anywhere worthy of sharing with your peers?
