In my last post I talked about how much I love to travel. And then I traveled for the first time in a year. It only took 4 different plane trips and a day each coming and going. And crowds. Large crowds. A trip like that could be exhausting for anyone of any age.
I debated
about wearing a mask. I have many never-worn masks from the days when masks
were mandatory rather than a debate with oneself. Now I wish I had used the mask that traveled in
the bottom of my purse for the entire journey. I came home with a forty-eight
hour “bug.”
I know. It
could have been worse. I could have come home with Covid. I’m just sayin’, just
recommending…a mask for travel in crowds for those of us whose immune system
may not be what it once was.
I’m still
all for traveling solo, I’ll be traveling again soon. However, I understand not
everyone feels comfortable solo. But solos are in luck! There are many agencies
and travel companies with a trip designed just for you.
At the top
of the list is Road Scholar Adventures. I don’t have experience with the rest
of my list but always recommend that do your research. Adventures Abroad for
Over 50, Elder Treks, Grand European Travel (an AARP provider), Intrepid Travel
and Kensington Tours are just a few catering to our aging population. There’s
no need to give up travel if the spirit is still willing!
Faraway places with the strange
sounding names are calling, calling me.
I've made many friends traveling alone. It's less intimidating for people to approach you. You can do what you want when you want.
