What Makes A Place “Senior Trip” Worthy?
Honestly, this really does differ. Destinations are going to appeal and cater to different people based on various factors like:
- Physical Capabilities
- Budget
- Interests
- Culture/Vibe/Atmosphere
- Accessibility
- Excursions
- Inclusivity
While you may have specific needs, this list encompasses some major ones. When deciding where to go, think about whether you seek more of a relaxing vacation or an adventurous journey.
Examples of the first would be renting an oceanview condo in Florida or sipping Pina Coladas at an all-inclusive Jamaican resort. In contrast, examples of the latter include exploring a national park or sightseeing in a major city.
To help narrow down the perfect destination sites, consider the following questions:
- How much money do you want to spend?: International travel, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts tend to be more expensive than camping or staying in a condo a couple of blocks from a beach.
- What are you looking for in a trip?: Adventure? Relaxation? Maybe both? Are you a foodie? Maybe even an adults-only, all-inclusive resort would be fun!
- Will you be able to get around quickly?: Does the place require lots of walking? Is it wheelchair accessible? What’s transportation like?
- Are amenities offered?: Croquet or bocci ball? Theme parks? Bike, kayak, canoe, or boat rentals? Cocktail hours, performance shows, or sheltered chairs along the ocean? Are bonfires your thing?
- Which atmosphere sounds more appealing?: A ski lodge? Lake life? Romantic Paris vibe? A Yellowstone sightseeing adventure?
