Synopsis

Here's an invitation to travel adventure for the over-50s set, a general guide and source of inspiration that describes 29 fascinating places around the world. The locations—chosen to reflect the needs and interests of mature travelers—include the world's most enthralling, idyllic, cultural, spiritual, gastronomic, and awe-inspiring destinations. The book divides travel sites according to seven themes: Romantic Liaisons, Active Breaks, Off-the-Track Adventures, Cities of Culture, Spiritual Retreats, Gastronomic Getaways, and Consumer Paradises. Just a few of the many journeys recommended include:

  • A tour of Renaissance Italy
  • The romance of the Orient, with visits to Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City
  • The rodeo in America's Wild West with a tour of the Tucson Mountains and Saguaro National Park
  • The unspoiled charm of Cambodia
  • Holland's tulip fields on a tour along Dutch waterways
  • Wine-tasting in the vineyards of Bordeaux
  • A yoga spiritual retreat in Kerala, South India . . . and many more

    Each location is described with special pointers on what to see and do, the best times to visit, and information on climate. Atmospheric watercolor illustrations on most pages capture the mood and spirit of each fascinating destination.
