More places to discover. More confidence to go.

Welcome to our travel journal: practical ideas, thoughtful planning and discoveries for your next chapter.

There is always another place to discover, another experience to try, and another reason to start planning.

Welcome to the Travel and Tips 55 Plus blog, a place for travel inspiration and practical planning with Andrea and Bob. Our focus is travelers 55 and over, with room for solo adventures, couples, family trips and journeys across generations.

What you will find here

We will share destination ideas, cruise planning, useful travel tips and selected travel finds. The aim is to help you understand an experience before deciding whether it belongs on your wish list.

Our weekly finds will cover more than cruises: hotels, resorts, tours and other travel opportunities can all be part of the mix. When we feature a price or offer, we will explain the relevant dates and conditions and when it was checked.

Travel at your own pace

Being over 55 does not describe one travel style. You might want a full day of exploring, a slower afternoon by the water, or a little of both. A good itinerary leaves room for the things you enjoy.

A weekly connection

Our Thursday newsletter is being prepared. It will bring together highlights from the blog, useful ideas and selected finds, with links to the full stories.
