If you think you’re too old to travel…think again. I mean, you have more time now. Right?
If you’re worried about health care, do a little extra planning. Research where you’re going, where the hospitals are in relation to where you’re staying, get copies of all your prescriptions, check your travel insurance, and bring some extra medications with you. If you’re at a hotel, ask the concierge where the closest pharmacy is or how to get to the hospital in case of an emergency.
If you’re worried about getting around, again some extra planning goes a long ways. Don’t think you need to climb to the top of every bell tower in every hill town in Tuscany.
Worried about driving in an unfamiliar country? Hire a driver or sign up for a small tour.
Wondering about that long flight? Check out business class. Your credit card miles may be able to help with the cost.
Thinking about costs? Don’t forget to research senior discounts. You may be pleasantly surprised. Check out train passes if you’re planning on traveling by train.
Bottom line…if you want to travel, there’s a way to travel at any age.
Have fun.
