Senior Sitters Get Free Nights With Pups & Pussycats


TrustedHousesitters.com is a website that books travelers who volunteer to combine visits to homes throughout the world with caring for the family pets. If you can create travel plans to include destinations that require your services, you may earn free nights in some unique homes.

You may be spending the night with Rover in a Honolulu beach house. Or lolling with Tabby within a New York high-rise condo. Or strolling with Shep along the grassy fields of a regal English estate.

To apply, volunteers must offer proof they’re experienced in feeding and caring for the pets.  It costs $119 annually to be a member of the pet-sitting volunteer clan.

LAX Is Best For Flying Senior Health Foodies PDF Print E-mail


USA Today reports results of a survey of U.S. airports conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The conclusion of its annual Airport Food Review is that Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves the healthiest foods.

The selection, as quoted in the report, includes “the healthy basics” -- veggies, fruits, whole grains and legumes.” This, of course, is good news to seasoned air travelers who’ve spent decades cruising airports with only fast-food and greasy spoon eateries greeting them while on their way to flights.

So, next time you’re at the airport and have time for a meal, stop at one that serves the freshest and healthiest foods. And when finishing your meal, buy a take-out package for when aboard your flight. We’re sure you’ve noted that in-air airline food keeps getting more expensive and less edible.
