THIS packing list came in a press release from Silver Travel Advisor, a website that specialises in travel reviews for the over 50s.
· Flight compression socks – great for wrapping around bottles of duty free in the luggage· Haemorrhoid cream – to conceal late night bags from under the eyes · A passport – in case you’re ID checked in the local clubs· A compass – to find your way home again· A local phrase book – wedge a few pages under wobbly bar tables to avoid spilt drinks · Wet wipes – great for cleaning red wine stains off the hotel bedroom carpet· Slippers – if you look eccentric you can make all kinds of unreasonable demands · Reading glasses – to replace the ones you lost on your head· Walking stick – ideal for jumping airport queues or attracting the bar staff’s attention· Sunglasses – even the over fifties need to sleep sometimes
So older travellers are not the creature of stereotype, but active, fun-loving sorts who know how to travel. Fair enough. But I do wonder if they’ll have much need for a specialist website like Silver Travel Advisor when they’re so busy gadding about like youngsters.
