Cheaper eats: If you want to keep your retirement nest egg a bit longer when dining out and/or traveling, consider these deals. Some are automatic, some for limited times of day/week, some require AARP membership and for others, you won’t get discounts unless you speak up for ‘em.

Arby’s, Golden Corral, Bubba Gump, Burger King, Denny’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, Subway and IHOP take 10% off your bill. Outback offers 15%. Many privately-owned restaurants, especially in city areas where seniors live and visit, offer similar deals.

Some well-known food delivery services also entice seniors with discounts. For example, Papa John’s offers a generous 25% off to AARP members. Therefore, whenever sitting down for or ordering a well-seasoned delivery meal, make sure you ask for the seasoned citizen discount.

These days, almost every seasoned wanderer has a smartphone that takes quality pix and video. Opportunities to create digital family scrapbooks are endless. We asked readers to suggest their favorite locations, and here are just a few of the most popular:

Paris: How can you go wrong in the City of Light? Take selfies next to the Eiffel Tower, River Seine, Arch of Triumph, sidewalk cafes and Parisians. As Bogie would’ve said, we’ll always have Paris selfies. JPG, Austin TX

Hollywood: Family and I strolled the Walk of Fame and shot selfies with costumed Disney and other street characters. We stepped in movie star footprints at Grauman’s Theater and took the tourist bus thru Beverly Hills. I hope my grandkids will show our fun selfies to their grandkids. LMY, Bronx NY

Recent medical studies (as if you don’t already know) report that inactivity adds to the physical problems of aging. Nicknamed the sitting disease, today’s seniors bring it on by spending too much unhealthy time on the couch.

According to the research, American elders, especially retirees, sprawl more than three hours daily in front of the TV. We’re advised to get up and actively exercise for at least ten continuous minutes during each of those wasted hours. We’re sure the Kardashians and Honey Booboo won’t know when we miss their commercials.

Whether traveling in Hong Kong, Hanoi, Helena, Honolulu or Hamburg, we often opt for Asian food. In busy air  terminals, many Chinese restaurants are geared to serving fast food. However, that doesn’t mean the fare can’t be fresh and delicious. Here are some airport examples:

Manchu Wok, Dallas-Fort Worth: In the food court of Terminal C, this Asian fast-food café offers steamtable and custom-made dishes. The price for a two-item platter is from about $7. Ingredients are fresh and include orange chicken BBQ pork and other items. Each meal topped off with a free fortune cookie. www.manchuwok.com

Fung Lum Express, San Francisco: Also in a food court, it’s at Terminal 3, and offers the usual Chinese dishes, plus varieties of dim sum, chive dumplings and banana shrimp rolls. Prices are from about $7, and open from 7:30 am to midnight, making it convenient for tired and hungry travelers. www.sfoconnect.com/...sfo/fung-lum-sfo
