Senior Sojourners: Several Savvy Suggestions |
 |
 |
 |
As experienced travel writers, tho we plan and research, we’re always still at the mercy of airlines, hotels, cruise ships and other providers. And need we mention Mother Nature? Here are some helpful tips, based on years of wandering the world.
Fly Light: Especially with ever-increasing baggage fees, get the largest approved carry-on and fit everything inside. And/or for stuff you can stash on your body, wear coats with many inside and outside pockets. Checking baggage costs money and valuable travel time, while increasing the possibility of loss. Consider Fedex or UPS to ship bulky items in advance.
Plan Ahead: On the day before you travel, be aware of potential problems in weather, illness, accidents, labor strikes, political issues and other possible glitches on the way to and at your destination. Always have at least one what-if plan ready to apply.
