considering a trip, here are some ideas to help you get started.

Is a “milestone’’ anniversary - perhaps your 25th, 30th or 50th - coming up ? Consider celebrating with a
romantic trip. You could escape on a weekend getaway or plan a second honeymoon. Some couples prefer to
take their original honeymoon trip a second time. Others choose a new destination that offers fine dining and
a tranquil atmosphere.
……………………………………..
Some of us have always wanted to go on safari or climb the Eiffel Tower. With so many seniors travelling the
globe, tour operators are offering trips for mature travellers to hundreds of destinations. With a little research
on a trip to your travel agent’s office, you can plan a trip to that very special place.
……………………………………..
There’s nothing quite like spending time with your grandchildren. Whether you travel to their home or meet
them for a special, multigenerational adventure, you’ll make memories that will last a lifetime. If you have a
favourite hobby or pastime, consider sharing it with your grandchildren while you travel.
……………………………………..
Taking a cruise is a great way to begin friendships. Some tours cater to single seniors. Others provide ways for
couples and singles to interact. For example, you may find yourself seated next to different people on each day
of your motor coach tour.
……………………………………..
Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn to speak Spanish. Why not try a learning vacation ? It’s easy to combine
travel with learning opportunities. University extension programs, local recreation departements offer trips and
classes on a multitude of subjects. You can bring a friend or forge new friendships while you learn.
……………………………………..
Volunteerism combines well with travel. You can build homes with habitat for humanity, help a church mission
project in Mexico or participate in an archaeological dig. Some tour operators offer “voluntours’’ or “service
learning tours’’ for seniors who want to contribute their skills and experience to help others. You probably won’t
sleep in luxury hotels, but you’ll bring home priceless memories and a sense of achievement.
