Samantha Brown host of Place to Love spoke at the Travel Adventure Show in Los Angeles and gave us some great travel tips.

The Travel Adventure Show takes place in Los Angeles every year and when the dates were announced for 2019, I made sure to sign up.

Lake Louise - Fairmont Chateau - Banff National Park - Canada

A Baby Boomer’s Guide to Travel Light and Nifty Over 50

January 10, 2017 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 8 Comments

travel light

We have to maneuver through crowded airports, squeeze ourselves into seats like sardines, and haul our luggage from planes into trains, buses, and automobiles.
