Air Travel Tip: Lugging Less Large Luggage |
 |
 |
 |
Airline prices aren't getting lower, and you can expect ever-increasing charges for checked bags. Additionally, because of inevitable delays, retrieving luggage after your flight is always a time-consuming hassle, and yours could fail to arrive at all. So, fly with carry-on bags.
If you're used to traveling with a large suitcase, a carry-on will force you to take less stuff. But, you ask, how can I sail that luxury cruise without loads of the fashionable clothing for dress-up dinners? Or, I’m booked for that trek up the Canadian Rockies, and need outdoor gear that couldn't fit into a carry-on bag.
With those few exceptions, there are ways to avoid luggage costs, losses and carousel delays. Some tips may help.

St. Petersburg, Russia: White Nights & Royal History |
|
|
|
|
Because of St. Petersburg’s far northern location, from late May through early July, there’s just an hour or so of darkness every night. This year, beginning May 23, and until July 10, an exciting schedule of music, drama, dance, art and hundreds of other events are offered throughout the historic city.
Major attractions include the Marinsky Theatre’s classic ballet and the lively Dixieland Jazz Festival along the Neva River’s English Embankment. Popular visiting sites are the Peter and Paul Fortress, Mikhailovsky Theatres, Mariinsky Concert Hall and Michael Garden.

Savvy Senior Tip: Travel Insurance Options |
|
|
|
|
When your travel4seniors.com editor first started wandering the world after retirement, one of the first worries was about travel insurance. After a 25-year career of writing ads and sales promo campaigns for a major insurance company, we were well aware of the need for anticipating the expected and unexpected.
As we booked our first post-retirement cruise, while the travel agent was adding up the many expenses involved, she just seemed to mention casually, "And, of course, you'll need our very comprehensive travel health insurance. That'll be another $250. (long pause) Each."
Oh, sure. We could visualize one of us falling off the ship’s gangplank, being hit by a Tijuana taxi or eating some tainted food and being hauled off to the hospital. We told the travel agent not to add the charges until we could check with our insurance agent.
