finding the perfect us trip for seniors without a car
I’ve been itching to plan a little getaway with a couple of friends, but the logistics are giving me a headache. We’re all in our late 60s, living in Dallas, and the idea of renting a car just doesn’t appeal to us anymore—too much hassle, and honestly, my knees can’t take hours behind the wheel. We want somewhere we can actually walk around, maybe hop in an Uber once or twice, but mostly just enjoy the place on foot.
We’ve already done the usual suspects—Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Anaheim, Hawaii, and DC—so we’re looking for something fresh. Chicago and New York are on our radar because they’re supposed to be walkable, but I keep hearing mixed things. Is Chicago really as easy to get around as people say, or will we end up stranded in some windy corner waiting for a cab? And New York—everyone says it’s a walker’s paradise, but are the crowds and subway chaos just too much for folks our age?
We even considered something totally different, like a cruise to the Bahamas or a relaxing trip to Miami. But I’m torn—do we go for the excitement of a big city, or find a peaceful small town with beautiful scenery? I want to make sure we don’t end up somewhere that looks great online but is a nightmare for seniors trying to get around. Anyone else wrestle with this? It feels like every place has its own set of challenges, and I’m not sure which headaches are worth it.
