December 15th, 2009

Boomers are transitioning into retirement in accelerating numbers.  Presently, approximately 1/3 of adults in the U.S. (over age 21), is a Baby Boomer, and each day, 10,000 additional folks mark their 50th year.  But Baby Boomers consider this time of their lives to be ‘Middle’ Age – not ‘Old’ Age.  Boomers have a tendency to appear 10 years younger than their sequential ages, they’re more fit than prior groups at the same age, and consequently, they’re going to be energetic for many years.

As a group, Baby Boomers have a tendency to play hard, try hard and spend fast – and this trend is probably going to continue into retirement ( the ‘Me Generation’ is at it again ).  About eighty percent imagine to work (either full or part time) after their 65th year ; however, when they play – they’re likely to never cease to play to win and spend hard, just as always.

Therefore, how will Boomers plan to enjoy all their years of R&R?

* They will never cease to be interested in stuff like luxury travel and vacation deals at top hostels and resorts around the globe.
* Boomers are greatly invested, even obsessed, with fitness and health, so things like spas, health clubs, active sports, for example.  Also will be highly sought after.
* Baby Boomers mawkish biases will continue to demand entertainment 50s and 60s style.
* They’re also committed to staying lifelong learners and will actively explore a variety of instructional and experiential learning opportunities, whether significant ones ( like graduate faculty and complicated degrees, or starting their own companies ) or more casual like those related to pastimes and other interests.
* Many Baby Boomers are grandparents, and heavily invested in their roles as grandparents.  Consequently, they will enjoy a lot of time spent with their grandchildren.
* Many will be staying ‘in place,’ rather than relocating to the Sunbelt or other traditional retirement venues.  Consequently, they will spend lots of time and energy redecorating their houses – in methods which make life simpler and more comfortable on a regular basis.

Some Ideas for a European Holiday

December 8th, 2009

If we were to have an opinion poll on European trips, most people will agree with the fact that you will need time on your hands for a comprehensive trip around the continent. he sheer diversity of this beautiful continent makes it almost impossible to do in one trip. So the question is often uttered how one would go about choosing the best destination between all that is available? Well first you should know it’s no easy decision to make. Having looked through the many, many countries from which one can choose and drawing on our expertise, we have drawn up a list of destinations that should be on everyone’s lists. Let me first give you my disclaimer – this list is very wide ranging.

Ireland

An Ireland vacation package is perhaps not the very first thing that springs to mind when someone thinks about a European holiday. Having said that, it is a country full of surprises. From a visit to the capital city, Dublin, through to the scenic beauty of the Cliffs of Moher, this country has a lot to offer. Go tee off at some of the world’s foremost links golf courses and have a lovely warm lunch at the local pub. The feedback on the local smaller towns are also really good. Generally it’s refered to as being a charming delight worth every second spent.

Greece

We did say that this is diverse! Nobody needs to put a single effort into promoting Greece vacation packages. First of all, let’s look at the history. Greece is an old country. There are a number of different key cultural an religious events that have played a role here over the centuries. Because of this long history, there are really countless different attractions to visit which are without a doubt worth your time. The key question to ask if this is your type of thing to do. If sites don’t impress you, the beaches and little shops definitely will.

Croatia

For many, many people this country has remained an undiscovered treasure in the Adriatic. A Croatia holiday package is an interesting combination between life on the island, beautiful inland and city sights. Start your trip from the southern, walled city of Dubrovnik and work your way up via the islands. Make sure to visit the beautiful island of Hvar and also visit the inland lakes and waterfalls. The cuisine is brilliants and the wine is a must to taste.

All things considered, the above three countries will give you a very diverse European taste. Some people like to be diverse in one trip and fit these countries into one tour. If this is not you, you can easily separate them and do them individually. You will fall in love with it!!

If traveling to America, be sure to look into Disney World Packages.
