Many senior travelers require cane, cart, crutch, wheelchair or other aid to fully enjoy their trips. Now, for those who want to continue lifetimes of creative photo/video ventures, the Cube is perfect.

For about $100, you get almost unlimited quality photos, as well as 90 video minutes on each recharge. The little camera with big ideas is easily hand-held, plus it mounts on magnetic metal surfaces, such as canes and wheelchair arms, and quickly detaches when necessary.

It’s waterproof and shock resistant, great for senior tourist shots on beach, jogs and bike trips. And don’t forget to take plenty of selfies. The kit includes a mini tripod, great for super-sharp video and photos. The Cube also makes a great holiday or birthday present for the traveling senior. For more info, go to www.polaroid.com/cube

A potential air tube transportation system may one day soon make the journey between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 35 minutes. Great for passengers for convenience and tickets may be as low as $30 each way.

It could be terrible news for never-ending-price-hiking airlines. Even more painful to oil companies is that Hyperloop will operate on economical solar power and compressed air. If cartel monopolies think the current drop in oil prices is crimping their regal lifestyle, the new power sources could have them sweating their burnooses off.

More good news for passengers, the system will operate from downtown stations, making it much more convenient than need to land travel from isolated airports.

We rarely write editorials, but a recent Yahoo piece shook us up. The writer not only bashed Americans, but also singled out seasoned citizens we feature on travel4seniors.com as the worst offenders.

Of course, on just about every cruise, as there are in land resorts, there are boorish people. They complain, make unreasonable demands, get drunk, buy junk and thoroughly offend everyone else. However, the boorish travelers are from all parts of the globe.

In our many cruises and other world travels, we’ve observed that at least 99.99% of Americans behave themselves admirably. May we add that those senior American travelers spent hard-working decades in businesses, professions and the military? Whatever enjoyment they get from cruises is well earned, and if sometimes they show it with hearty laughter and funny clothing, tell it to the Marines.
