Book Description
Travel Tips & Trips For Seniors "Never travel anywhere if you have to get shots before, or re-enter the food chain after. Avoid places where bugs, animals, people or prices might bite!" says Author James Toland in his new book: "Travel Tips & Trips For Seniors." Travel writer Toland takes us from California’s best unrestored ghost towns to Hawaii’s thrilling volcanoes, Alaska’s magnificent glaciers, and Europe’s best sites — and deals. Toland guides us through unique and exciting destinations — always keeping an eye on what seems to work best for the mobile, senior traveler. Constantly seeking a bargain, Toland’s sense of humor and celebration of travel spark vivid imagery. His street-savvy tips provide a safety net for the novice and veteran alike. And Toland shares a unique personal travel history that is as fascinating and amusing as his destinations. "Better, smarter, cheaper" is Author James Toland’s travel philosophy. His Tips & Trips can easily save travelers 10 times the cover price of this book — and more!
