We have 4 fur babies , Newman 11, Paisley 10, Poppy 8 and Pearl 4 and many fish , and to be frank these guys are about the only thing that i truly worry about leaving when we travel. When we said I-do, then in our 30s, we also made a commitment to travel as much as possible and see as much of this world as possible before we die. Here we are, I'm 51 and Craig is 56 in December and over the past 11 years we have visited over 20 countries together. We consider ourselves to be normal yet sassy savvy travelers. We are not back packers and yet we are not all 5 star , we like to be comfortable yet ever mindful of the budget. I wanted to start this travel blog to uncover the smooth underbelly of traveling in your 50s , you are not old -old , yet we are not doing Cancun as raging 20 year old's either . We can pull an all nighter, but only once a month, not night after night.
I will be truthful about how i vomit if i get drunk and it aint pretty and how to find medical help or pharmaceutical drugs in a foreign land. I want to brooch the topics that are not often discussed in many travel blogs or on you tube. How to make sure you travel comfortably , even after surgery , being comfortable on planes trains and automobiles, boats , trams and tuk-tuks. I want to discuss savvy ways to save pesos when booking travel.
I promise to do my brownie guide duty and to tell you the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth , no matter how beautiful or UGLY the truth maybe. We love to eat and a huge part of travel is tasting food from across this magical planet. I will discuss traveling with injury's , illness, medications and light bladder leakage, lol lol and balance that with new fantastic experience , meeting unbelievable people and discovering breathtaking natural wonders and man made marvels. I must admit Im not a huge people fan , i have my moments when Im just so humbled to be experiencing another culture that I'm simply overwhelmed and other times when i want to just watch people and not engage. Im not known for my spelling and Im a 80's high school kid so grammar wasnt even a consideration so please use interpretive measures when reading and deal with my creative punctuation and don't feel the need to constantly "corect" me , Im a free spirit and please i must just pour out and flow, so comma-shomma. lol lol
We will share with you hints on how to pack within luggage allowances when you cant get away with parking a bikini and a sarong , and your clothes alone weigh more than a small car and don't even mention toiletries and CPAP machines. How to get though customs and not make it to every known watch list like i have, and how to prepare for travel through multiple climates when you do feel the cold and the heat and finding comfortable shoes inst as easy as a pair of Havanas. Iam brave and i will willingly chat about good bathroom options on the road and how to avoid getting caught out. We can share our security options, and so far , touch wood, we have never been robbed or had any major mishaps. We have missed planes , changed hotels , been lost in the dark lands of mexico and have braved the unknown in Myanmar, however we have never been hurt or mugged and we have met amazing people , have life changing experiences and all while having a laugh and having each others back.
Please follow us and like us and I will do my best to utilize technology .We welcome you and thank you for joining us on our journeys as sassy savvy XL 50 plus travel beetles ( we are bigger than a mere bug lol ) exploring this world we aim, along with you to be enlighten, entertained, educated laugh , we will laugh a lot.
