Question:
Di, I want to take a vacation where I can learn and see new things. Is there a way to do that without spending thousands of dollars?
Di Patterson:
I’m happy to say that there is a way to do that. Here are a couple options below:
- Enroll in Community College! Amazing travel deals for Students
- Elder Hostel; AARP Packages — Visit site
- Vacations with Purpose: Volunteering in Foreign Climes

Wraparound Sunglasses, Comfortable Walking Shoes, Lightweight and Easy Packing Clothes, Luggage: wheeled luggage a must! (Guard your backs, necks and knees!), Vitamins and Supplements, RXs and sunscreen; and always take a bathing suit! Rubber-soled sandals for the shower and the beach, Family photo in a lightweight frame, a few travel-worthy snacks: unsalted nuts (travel usually makes us swell, so no salt!), crackers, dried fruit…
…the things that you would need if:
- you get stuck in an airport and you have to stay near the gate for an extended time
- you get an upset stomach and need to calm it down
- your travel plans get “readjusted” and you have to “stave off starvation”
- you feel like staying in your stateroom while you get your “sea legs”
- or you want to go “adventuring” and need some trail mix!
