Has back pain kept you from enjoying a boomer travel experience? That’s what happened to Alan when we took our whirlwind tour of the Western National Parks. A couple of days before the road trip, he played a vigorous game of handball that resulted in an aching back. By the time we reached Glacier National […]

Saturday’s scene: exploring Canada’s Icefields Parkway

Exploring in our Montana backyard
Alan and I include exploring in our own backyard when planning boomer travel adventures. We think it’s important to know and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

Saturday’s scene: summer at Keystone Resort

You’ll find plenty to do here in the summer. I’m at Keystone Resort in Colorado, for the TBEX travel blogger conference, so this boomer traveler is skipping […]
Don’t let back pain put your boomer travel on hold
You’re on a boomer trip—one you’ve been anticipating for a long time—and a nagging lower backache is your morning wakeup call rather than the hotel’s radio alarm clock. There go the plans for the day—no hiking, biking or golfing for you. Hopefully, this is a vacation that provides rest and relaxation rather than a road […]
