Koff! Koff! Stay In Smoke-Free Comfort Inn & Suites


All of the national chain’s 1,700 motels are now 100% smoke-free. If you’re tired of walking through smoky hallways to get to your no-smoking room, smelling burnt tobacco at the pool and being surrounded by offensive smokers in the dining room, seek out an air fresh Comfort Inn on your next travel schedule.

Las Vegas NV: Lo Mejor De Los Burritos Mexicanos PDF Print E-mail


Take some time from grooving and gambling away your family fortune to enjoy a South of the Border feast at Pink Taco in the Hard Rock Hotel. Order the Ultimate Burrito, deliciously stuffed with over three pounds of pulled chicken, pork, beef, refried beans, rice, queso, guacamole, crema, pico de gallo and lettuce. Cost: $24, but unless you’re a cerdo, it’ll feed at least three family members, your dog and cat.

 
Shoot Creative Photos & Videos On Your Next Trip PDF Print E-mail


If Warhol and other so-called artists can make millions of bucks on soup can photo copies, you can shoot niftier scenes while wandering the world. Remember the good old days when you had to buy film and reload your camera after 36 shots? Now there’s no film, more sophisticated cameras and endless opportunities for creative photo results.

Do a few selfies, but mostly seek out interesting moments you’ll treasure for many years. While wandering through Zanzibar markets, Grand Canyon rocks or Paris boulevards, scenic opportunities are endless. Capture candid travel scenes that happen once and never again. Then, long after you return home, you’ll look at your photos and videos and repeat what Bogart said to Bacall: We’ll always have Paris.

 
Cruises And Hotel Bookings: Always Ask For A Free Upgrade PDF Print E-mail


Senior wanderers who speak up while checking in may save some money. If you’re a bit devious, casually mention that you or your companion is marking a 65th or other significant birthday. Your plea could also be that you’re celebrating your 40th wedding anniversary. You can also try the newlywed routine, but if you show wrinkles and grey hair, that ploy may not work.

If the cruise ship or hotel isn’t fully booked, the check-in clerk can usually opt to give you a free upgrade to a larger cabin or suite. It may also get you complimentary champagne or chocolates on your pillow on the first night. And just maybe a free buffet for two at the dining room. Your ploy may not work, but it’s always worth the attempt.

 
Opinion: Enjoyable Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) PDF Print E-mail


Your travel4seniors.com editor recently spent some time in one of the most enjoyable airports in the world. For savvy senior wanderers, the words enjoyable and airport rarely go together.

Most terminal experiences are filled with frustration, delays, incompetence, bad food, scowling security, unruly mobs, dirty waiting areas and other annoyances. Happily, I found Hong Kong to be totally different. My fave European airport is Amsterdam’s Schipol, but as good as it is compared to US terminals, Hong Kong is one step closer to perfect.

Wandering among  the upscale shops, bright outdoor plazas, welcoming eateries and comfortable resting areas is pleasant. Security check-in is efficiently quick, as well as picking up bags after flights. Management brains at US airports should take some lessons from HKG.

 
USA Today: China World’s Most Popular Travel Stop By 2030 PDF Print E-mail


First of all, considering that two funny haircut fat world leaders have their itchy fingers on nuclear buttons, our planet isn’t guaranteed to be still here in 2030. However, according to the news service, and if no one pushes the devastation button, the trend is that China will attract the most tourists.

The prediction is that the Eiffel Tower in Paris, gondolas in Venice, Times Square in New York and the Hollywood Walk of Fame will all fade in glory. Meanwhile, Tianimen Square and the Great Wall of China will take over as the top world visitor attraction.  And, of course, there will be those seeking restaurants serving Peking duck.
