ACTIVE TRAVEL
When it comes to travel, boomers don't like sitting on a bus looking out the window as the sights go by. We want to experience a travel adventure that fits our abilities. Of course choosing an activity that's slightly challenging, or one that is new to us, is exhilarating. Our motto: we'll try anything (within reason) once.
