With the wind at my back…. The joys of senior traveling

Truly one of the greatest joys of our lives must be traveling. Getting away from the daily grind of our lives and exploring new places, meeting new people or just becoming one with a stretch of open sandy beach.  There is a palatable euphoria that happens when you toss a few essentials into a suitcase, turn your out-of-office response on in your email and lock your front door. You are free, at least for awhile, to just have fun.  Senior traveling is the largest, and fastest growing, segment of the travel industry. One look at the plethora of blog sites devoted to baby boomer adventures and it’s easy to see why we are known as the most active retirees in history.  Check a few of these sites out:
