    About this ebook

    In a conversational style with tinges of humor, It Ain't Heavy, It's My Luggage: Tips for Older Women Traveling Abroad, delivers practical pointers and encouragement on how women in their 60s, 70s and beyond--whether going solo or with female friends or relatives--can travel overseas smoothly and safely while broadening their horizons. Nix the "I can't," because regret comes from not going at all.

    A sample of the 22 chapters:
    You Say Potato, I Say Tomato--Choosing the right traveling companion
    The Cane Mutiny--Adjusting to your physical limitations
    Over the Lips and Under the Gums, Look Out Stomach Here It Comes--How to keep potential tummy problems at bay
    Don't Be a "Gaffey" Duck--How to avoid making gaffes in another culture
    OK, It's a Cliché, But Stop and Smell the Blooming Roses--Appreciating the simple things
