Senior travel could be the prescription that improves your

entire well being! How do you sleep at night? Do you toss

and turn endlessly? Do you dream? What do you dream?

Medical researchers tell us that dreams are the reflections

of our innermost thoughts and desires. Do you awaken most

mornings refreshed and eager to take charge of your brand

new day?

Or do you feel like pulling the blankets over your face and

head and wish the world would just forget your existence?

Maybe you've got it all wrong. Maybe what you need instead

is for you to forget the world! At least your acreage in it

for awhile.

If you're a senior, travel could be just what the doctor

ordered. Put your everyday cares and problems on the shelf.

Refocus your attention. Meet different people. Make new

friends.

1. Why not shelve your perceived worries and rigid schedules.

You'll have plenty of time to beat them into submission

when you get back home.

2. A change of scenery for a few days could be your ticket to

shrinking problems back into manageable size.

3. Make senior travel your personal prescription for

yourself! You deserve it.

You can't afford it you mumble? You just don't have the

free time and financial resources to travel you claim?

You've just got too much to do right here?

Sounds a lot like trumped up excuses, doesn't it?

Why not get out your scratch pad, clean off the dining room

table and let's take a look at how your glib protests stack

up to reality!

You don't have to travel to Paris or Tokyo! More than

likely, within one hundred miles of where you're sitting

right now is a place you've wanted to visit and experience

for a long time.

You can reach it in your own car. If not, bus

transportation will take you anywhere economically.

You've just eliminated the price of airfare.

Even if you want to travel to a far away destination,

airlines have all sorts of programs for seniors to save you

money for using them. Visit a travel agency, you will be

surprised at how much money they can save you.

As a senior, the agencies will also make all reservations

for you on the plane and at your destination, including car

rentals if you desire.

Begin making plans now, and don't go alone! Include your

husband or wife, significant other, or a close friend.

Traveling with a companion is a lot more enjoyable.

But don't drop everything and leave right away. Take your

time, savor planning the trip. Make an itinerary of places

you want to visit and things you want to do when you get

there.

But, keep the list flexible. Don't replace the schedule

you're leaving at home for a new one for your travels.

If you're still sitting at the dining room table, begin the

list of places you'd love to visit right now. Dwell on what

you'd like to do when you get to each one. Visualize it!

Do you feel the enthusiasm building in your mind.

Can you taste the salt air at the sea shore? Do you smell

the pines in the mountains and hear the birds talking to one

another in the trees?

Can you hear the tuxedoed waiter telling you and your

companion what the special is today in that fancy French

restaurant you always wanted to eat at?

Your personal senior travel is what the doctor ordered. You

just wrote your own trip itinerary! Why not get that

prescription filled today!

Remember! You deserve it.
