Travel tips for seniors on the
go!
As you prepare to
embark on your next adventure remember that a little advance
planning can help avoid unexpected bumps along the way. Here are
some essential tips to help ease the stress and make your
journey more enjoyable and hassle-free.
Give Yourself A Budget: Your next vacation doesn’t have
to break the bank! Simply decide on the type of accommodations
that you’ll enjoy and set aside a realistic budget. Be on the
lookout for travel deals such as senior discounts, best rate
guarantees and vacation packages. Remember to pack your proof of
age identity card and any senior club membership cards.
Plan Ahead: Research your destination and remember to
book hotel reservations well in advance. Look for national hotel
chains that cater to seniors, such as Days Inn with its offering
of amenities including a free Daybreak Café breakfast at most
locations and free high-speed Internet access.
Play It Safe: Pack any medications or prescriptions in
your carry-on bag and bring along enough medication to last you
the entire trip. Visit your doctor to learn about potential
travel health risks before you begin your trip and consider
preparing a first aid kit for the road.
Security On The Road: Before departing, make sure you
have adequate insurance coverage. Always carry your supplemental
travel and health insurance policy with you and review all
insurance requirements before you leave. Keep the telephone
number of your insurer handy in case of emergency.
Stay Connected: It's a good idea to send your upcoming
travel itinerary to a friend or relative so someone will always
know your whereabouts. Be sure to carry a prepaid phone card or
cell phone so you can keep in touch from the road.
