If you're a classic movie history buff, consider a nostalgic pilgrimage to actual sites where they were filmed. Here are five that bring back memories whenever we see them again on late, late TV, or when revisiting the locations in person.
Some Like It Hot (1959): The Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon movie was set in 1920s Miami Beach. However, it was actually shot at the luxurious Del Coronado Hotel on an island off the coast from San Diego, California. Still beautiful, the oceanside resort is worth a visit for any nostalgic senior traveler.
North By Northwest (1959): Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint escape from bad guys in thrilling scenes on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. To survive, they climb all over the enormous carved stone faces of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt.

Guest Senior Correspondent LVG, Louisville KY: While jogging at dawn in a German town recently, I encountered a local policeman. “Guten tag!” I called out like a local citizen. The answer was in perfect English, “And good morning to you, too, sir!”
He knew I was an American tourist, and I’m sure he was amused by my attempt to speak German. We appreciate visitors to our country who speak English, so people of other lands have more respect for American tourists when we communicate in their language. A simple thanks, a smile and a compliment can go a long way.

Las Vegas NV: Will We Go To Jail For Buffet Robbery? |

Guest Correspondent WLW, Pasadena CA: Will we get a Sin City lock-up built for two? We sneaky senior wanderers don’t rob money from casinos. We commit the crime of daily doggie bagging. As frequent diners at Vegas hotel buffets, we’ve developed the fine art of sneaking food out to eat later for free.
No arrests yet, but considering the Mafia history of Vegas, by revealing our nefarious actions, we could be risking broken kneecaps or anonymous burial plots in the desert. After all, didn’t the Mob hit Bugsy Siegel and other unfortunate guys for cheating in Sin City?
