Chartres, France: Historical Cathedral |
 |
 |
 |
Guest Senior Traveler PKMcM, Doylestown PA: When my spouse and I planned retirement, our highest priority was to travel. In the two decades since, we’ve lived up to that plan. We’ve visited many states, including Hawaii and Alaska. We’ve been to Canada, Mexico, Panama, Chile and Argentina.
Fascinated By European Cathedrals: We’ve visited England, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Holland, Belgium and Russia. In Europe, we’re fascinated by cathedrals. The gothic splendor symbolizes dedication to religious beliefs.
We’ve spent some enjoyable and educational hours visiting cathedrals, including the Basilica di San Marco in Venice, Cologne in Germany and St. Paul’s in London. On our most recent journey to Paris, it was quality time at Notre Dame Cathedral. Then we decided to travel 56 miles southwest to the French town of Chartres and see another historic cathedral.

Mugging: Stay away from late-night city sidewalks and alleys. Travel with at least one other person, preferably with a group headed by a local guide.
Pickpockets: They appear in all shapes, ages and genders, and fit in with their surroundings. Tourists, especially seniors, who roam in flashy clothing, are prime targets of pickpockets. Loose hanging purses are favorites.

Your travel4seniors.com editor had a first Airbnb private home booking experience in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, recently. It proved to be a memorable weekend, and inspired some research into the fascinating travel feature.
The Airbnb service is spreading rapidly throughout the world. It now includes a growing list of available former California homes of beloved stars whose names are etched in our memories. Fees for each night vary from about $500 upward for three-night minimums. The prices can be comparative bargains, considering that many of the large, multi-bedroom houses with spas and pools can accommodate groups of people.

Senior Drivers Alert: 99¢ Gas Has Returned! |
|
|
|
|
It may be a fluke or just a one-day promo to lure customers. It happened recently at a gas station in Youngstown, Ohio. We can only hope the trend to honest-priced gas will continue nationwide.
According to the AAA, gas prices have continued to decline throughout the past several months, the longest since the greedy international oil robber barons first pulled their phony cutbacks in the 1970s.
What can senior drivers do about it? Get out there on the road and enjoy some brilliant autumn scenery, whether at your nearby public park or at a magnificent U.S. National Park across the nation.
