    • Carol has it absolutely right. I am 79 and my wife is 76. We just returned from 3 weeks in Africa, including hiking to see gorillas in Uganda and safaris in Zambia. We are going to British Columbia next month to track grizzly bears, and in the next year we have booked trips to Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, the Galapagos, Norway and the Arctic, and Papua New Guinea. In addition, I have booked trips for myself to ski in Montana and play golf in Scotland. We are lucky to be pretty healthy and have the money to do this, and I understand that not everyone is this lucky. Nevertheless, although it is sometimes difficult, travel keeps us young and vigorous. I have been to 66 countries and my wife has been to over 120. We plan to continue as long as we can. Some of these trips are difficult, but you do not know what you can do until you try it. If these types of trips sound too intimidating, there are incredible sites in the US that are much less strenuous to visit. Richard is right - "Good health is a blessing, money helps, but it’s all about attitude as well."
