Going on a bus tour can be lots of fun

TAKE THE BUS

Going on a bus tour can be lots of fun. You can go on a day trip to a casino, a museum, a two-week foliage trip to the Rockies, and everything in between. When planning a trip, there are a few good questions to ask. If you have a wheelchair or a walker, find out where it will be stored and how quickly you can get it. How long will you be on the bus between stops? What is the average age in the group? Will there be any free days or afternoons? Will you change seats every day? When you get off the bus, can you leave personal belongings behind? How many people will be on the tour?

 

P.S. There are usually tour directors on each bus. They help solve problems, fill you in on each day’s itinerary, and give advice on how to spend free time at different locations.

Travel, and Senior Citizens

TAKE A DAY TRIP

 

Most people love to travel, and senior citizens are no different. However, as people get older, they may have to deal with health issues and have less energy than they used to, and they may encounter other factors that can cause travel to be more challenging. Fortunately, there are many companies that specialize in putting together day trips for seniors to take these limitations into consideration. The groups are usually small to avoid the problem of keeping a big group moving along. All participants likely share similar concerns, so everyone can take a break and sit for a moment, find a bathroom, or have a little energy snack. These needs can be a source of laughter that creates a common bond.

 

P.S. There are all kinds of trips available for seniors, including city trips, days in the country, museum events, and even excursions to shopping malls and discount outlets.
