What about traveling with seniors?

Terri Ha

Most people who've posted here have talked about traveling with kids, so I'm not sure if traveling with seniors would fit into this forum, but I guess I'll give it a try.

Anyway, my grandfather is about 85 years old. My cousins and I want to all pitch in to take him on a vacation to somewhere suitable for traveling seniors. He is in good health condition for his age. He loves to travel and thinks he can still be active and he doesn't listen to his body when it tells him to rest. He really likes to eat, enjoys swimming, likes museums, and likes musicals and entertainment. Maybe a resort someplace warm but not too hot?

Does anyone have any good suggestions on where to take my grandpa?

if he likes museums, musicals and entertainment, maybe he'd enjoy a city getaway for at least part of the time. London, Paris, New York and just about every other major city can be a chance for him to spend times in museums that interest him, or historic sites.

Why not ask him where he'd like to go.

We want it to be a surprise for him. He can leave any time for a trip so it's not like we have to give him prior notice. London sounds good. I think he'd enjoy authentic English afternoon tea.

I think London and Paris are great suggestions. I know this might sound typical, but what about Hawaii?

Paris would be a perfect place if he loves to go to the museums and love to eats to restaurants. There are so many beautiful sights you can see on Paris

Take to the place when he has visited long time a go, so it can bring back a good memory and sure he has many story to tell.

i think seniors would love to see things from the past or things from "their time" so museums are great places..i love listening to stories of elder people, they're full of wisdom and know so much about life.
they would also enjoy nature.. just avoid busy and noisy places..

Seniors makes me uncomfortable to enjoy the places due to his restrictions due to which I am never go with my seniors on picnics or on other tours.

Well, if he is interested in musicals, a visit to the Sydney Opera House would be a good idea. There would also be other interesting things for him to see in Australia. However, be warned as the country's climate might not what you wanted.
