Las Vegas NV: Enjoy Vintage Sinatra & Pals |
|
|
|
Have you had enough of the squawking, barking, twerking, cursing and screaming that passes for music these days? If your senior memories require it, take a nostalgic trip to Sin City to enjoy the soothing sounds of the Sinatra era.
After starring at the Sands (now the Venetian) through the 1950s, Sinatra performed for several years at the then-new Caesars Palace. You can recapture some memories of that era. For an evening of the music of Frank and pals, visit the Matt Goss Throwback Show there.

Amtrak Provides Quiet Cars: Peaceful Passenger Refuges |
|
|
|
The national train service now has designated cars where riders can sit, snooze, silently work on touch screens and listen to quiet music by earphones. Considering the continuously escalating problems of flying, this has to be a blessing. The signs in the cars instruct: Please refrain from loud talking or using cell phones in this car.
Unlike flighing, there's no fighting over ever-decreasing legroom, listening to squawking iPhone yakkers nor enduring screaming kids. Weary seniors who ride on the Amtrak quiet cars can now enjoy what is almost impossible anywhere else in the insanely cacophonic world of travel. For schedules and other info, go to www.amtrak.com

Do Airlines, Cruise Lines & Hotels Spy On You? |

If you’re familiar with travel4seniors.com, you know our editors are constantly on the road, in the air and at sea. In our wanderings we’ve found a recent tech trend to be very pleasing. At the same time it could disturb some senior travelers until they become accustomed to it.
An example happened when we recently checked into a familiar Manhattan hotel. Arriving at the desk, we were greeted cheerfully by name, and had already been pre-assigned to a preferred room on a favorite floor.
Entering, we found a bottle of our favorite wine on the table, as well as familiar snacks. When we called to order breakfast in the morning, we were asked if we wanted our usual choices.

West Hollywood CA: Hotel Where Chaplin Once Lived |
|
|
|
Since we relocated to the area five years ago, we’re just a few blocks away, but had never heard of this 90-year-old Hollywood hideaway hotel until recently. It’s not on the glamorous Sunset Strip, by trendy Malibu Beach nor in glitzy Beverly Hills. It’s on Sweetzer Avenue, a quiet residential lane in West Hollywood.
The Charlie, built in 1924 as a private residence, and lived in by the Little Tramp for several years, is actually a large English-style cottage, surrounded by beautiful gardens. It’s now a luxury, all-suite hotel, with private parking within its entrance gate.
