Baby boomer motorcycle riders, today’s guest post is for you. Thanks to Facebook (you’ve liked the My Itchy Travel Feet page on Facebook right?), I connected with Nancy Allen from my hometown of East Point, Georgia. It turns out that Nancy has experienced many boomer adventures, plus she’s a Harley rider, which makes her the […]

Activities for baby boomer travelers.
Day-tripping Through New Zealand’s Glacier Country
Updated 02.01.2016 For a close-up glacier experience, nothing beats the convenience of Franz Josef and Fox Glacier on the South Island of New Zealand. You don’t have to board a ship for a long cruise to the glacier’s face, simply park your car in the parking lot and start walking. Active travelers choose between moderately […]
Hiking the Abel Tasman Coast Track
Updated 06.01.2015 Isolated beaches, sandy coves, tree-studded ridges where a waterfall’s trill competes with the call of the bellbird and tui —this is New Zealand’s Abel Tasman National Park on the South Island. You’ll find plenty of active travel adventures here, including some world class hiking. Choose from two tracks: One leads inland up forested […]
Finding My Balance At Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain Spa
“I handle the digital PR for Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain,” said the email from Ritz-Carlton’s new social media representative. “Are you interested in a site visit for article research?” Are you kidding me? Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain is my favorite Tucson area destination resort. But I couldn’t be a dishonest baby boomer. The Marana luxury property had […]
Exploring Greenwich Village On a Walking Tour
Greenwich Village isn’t really a secret. It can’t even be called an off-the-beaten-path area of New York City. But on a visit to Manhattan, baby boomer travelers will find tree-lined streets, a secret garden and respite from the chaos of Times Square. At least that’s what this boomer discovered on a summer visit to the […]
Exploring the Cote d’Azur on a Seabourn Cruise Excursion
Updated 07.01.2015 When cruise ships visit Monaco, baby boomer travelers have several choices for exploring. They can wander the streets of Monte Carlo, the elegant European gambling capital, perhaps stepping inside the casino made famous in the James Bond films. If there’s time, boomer Francophiles might want to book a longer cruise excursion into Provence, […]
Life at Sea on Seabourn Sojourn
Cruise crossings. I’ve written several times about how much Alan and I enjoy them. But I have a feeling that I still haven’t convinced some of our baby boomer readers about how adventurous a day at sea can be. So, today, I’m posting one of the daily programs from our recent Atlantic crossing on the […]
Walking on a Glacier
What’s it like to walk on a glacier? Is the ice slippery? Are there big crevasses that will swallow you up, never to be seen again? How cold is it? Do you need to be decked out like an Arctic explorer? If you’re an active traveler asking these questions, do I have an adventure cruise […]
Cruise Adventure with Un-Cruise Adventures
Baby boomers who crave adventure will find all that and more on an Un-Cruise Adventures cruise in Alaska’s Inside Passage. The hiking, kayaking, wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities live up to the company’s tag-line—Indulge Your Adventurous Side. When Un-Cruise Adventures invited us to sail on their un-cruise to experience the active excursions that will be offered […]
