Senior Traveler: Travel bargains for the holiday season
By Alan Solomon
For The Inquirer

Baseball is over, finally, even for the Phillies. That can mean only one thing.
It's almost Christmas.

It really is almost Hanukkah. (First light: Dec. 1.)

Calls these gifts, if it makes you feel more seasonal. Think of some of them as potential gifts to yourselves. I think of them as incentives to get us out of town.

Tour companies, cruise lines, hotels, destinations, and marketers of tourist-friendly toys are jumping in early, trying to get a portion of holiday spending onto their bottom lines. What follows are among the dozens of alerts that got my attention.

A disclosure: Not all of these offerings are exclusive to seniors or discounted only for 55-plussers (or, for that matter, discounted for anyone). But I've chosen them because they offer something that appeals to us geezers - value, and maybe something a little different.

Grab your credit card (which we keep balance-free, of course), and here we go:

Golf. Golf aids are often curious, but here's one - with no stated age limit - that offers to correct just about everything in your game for a mere $89 (or about the price of three nights at Excalibur): the SensoGlove. It has built-in sensors that read your grip pressure. "Practicing with SensoGlove will teach you the correct grip pressure for a smooth, consistent swing that delivers greater distance, enhanced precision and lower scores!" This is not a personal endorsement. I haven't broken 100 since 1997. Just passing it along. www.sensoglove.com.
