For many, aging correlates with retirement and finally having the time to truly relax and travel more. You’ve worked hard your entire life and now it’s time to enjoy it! Getting older, however, can also mean that we may not be able to travel quite as carefree as we once could without a little preplanning. There are helpful tips across the Internet but we’ve summarized the essential tasks for minimizing potential mishaps and stress.


1. Consult your physician. For extended trips or international travel, talk to your doctor before securing reservations. Know whether certain vaccinations may be recommended and address any health concerns well before you leave. You may also wish to consider travel insurance. There are affordable options that offer peace of mind in case of accidents, illness, or emergency prescription refills.


2. Stock up on any medications. Make sure you have enough to last the duration of your trip and pack these in a carry on bag just in case your luggage should get lost. If you expect to have to take

medication while on the plane, be sure to pick up a bottle of water and a hearty snack before boarding, if the complimentary bag of mini pretzels won’t do.


3. Travel Light. Skip the heavy luggage and pack less, making use of laundry service while away. You’ll be able to move about the airport more freely, which can make navigating the crowds and security lines less stressful.


4. Stay Vigilant. Unfortunately, thieves and scam artists frequently target senior citizens. Consider leaving large jewelry items at home and always be wary of anyone trying to give you something for nothing.
