Boomer Travel Deals and Dream Destinations

Wake up Boomers… say “good morning” in the land of birds and fauna unlike anything you have ever seen! New Zealand is a bird watching boomer feast of eye candy exotica!

I am a bird watching, bird loving boomer myself and while some may snortle at traveling all that way to watch birds, I think it is a perfectly legitimate reason to travel 13,056.0km or 8113.0 miles, don’t you?

What is a 15 hour flight compared to the magnificence of the terrestrial birds, seabirds, and wetland birds that have survived 700 years of human habitation in a paradise they once occupied more abundantly and gloriously than we can now even imagine?

Unfortunately, the list of extinct, vulnerable, rare, and critically endangered bird species is frighteningly long. Especially the various Moa’s. It is worth the time and expense to see the Great Spotted Kiwi’s and their chicks, along with the Phoenix Patrel and many others I had never heard of until I began researching endangered birds of the world.

I have a feeling that taking a Wanaka River Journey is going to be one of my near future vacations because I am getting more and more excited at the prospect with each web site I see. Now this would be the way to see various sections of the country and it’s wildlife. Talk about a great video in the making! Speaking of video, I found this video on YouTube that excited me so much I could barely contain myself!
You can tour New Zealand right now for an appealing appetizer that will leave you drooling.

If you are one of those (few) Boomers who has not yet done the obligatory bungee jump, ridden the white water rapids, or climbed a mountain in some exotic locale then this is the vacation for you and your mate.

Spend a week in New Zealand and you can fulfill all your fantasies including making love on a pristine beach under the stars after a days hike and a midnight walk along the shore. How many things have you put off in your life until the proverbial later which never seems to become now?

Go to my earlier post on passports and get yourself geared up to come alive in New Zealand. You will come home a different person. We are going. It is 4th on our list of annual honeymoons. If you recall from earlier articles, we are the HoneyBoomers and we honeymoon annually. It does keep life exciting folks.

Remember,the only thing stopping you is you. If you don’t plan it and start the machine, it will never happen. The first step is the decision. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I didn’t know HOW I would make something happen but I knew WHAT I intended to happen so I acted on it and everything fell into place because I decided, planned, took action, envisioned and had faith as I took each step. Some trips have taken a year or two or three to materialize but they always do!

By now all of us are actively using the power of thought and feeling to co create our lives or, at the very least, we are learning just how it is that we do that. Watching the unfolding of dream destinations and vacations become reality is a great way to measure the perfection of the universal laws of attraction. Have fun Boomers and I will see you in New Zealand! Travel safe Mate!

American Boomer’s love Boomer Travel Deals at home because we have loved to load up the family car and hit the road since the first Ford.

These days it may be the Winnebago, or whatever RV you might happen to own, but baby boomer’s are loading up and hitting the road in greater and greater numbers. Just ask my friends at Ty and Mariwho have a great blog and are traveling all over the Pacific northwest and the southwest in their motor home. They literally sold their home and hit the road in September 2007 and they love it.

More and more Americans are realizing there are treasures unexplored right here at home and that it is possible that you will never get to see them all.

Two of my favorite places on the list that we have compiled are as follows: The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Yes, you must go there and you must plan on staying at least a week. Then there is The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia, where princes and presidents have vacationed and escaped to. Shouldn’t you?

The Homestead was founded ten years before-yes before-the American Revolution. I think that qualifies it as sacred ground, don’t you?

Everyone keeps running off to warm weather vacations but darlings don’t go soft on me now. A brisk cold weather vacation when you are all bundled up and ready for a walk is wonderful for your health and vitality. You know that don’t you?

I have learned the value of the change of seasons. As readers know, I love to escape to Greece or Costa Rica myself, but the atmosphere of ski resorts is like a large and friendly fraternity party; while I am not so hot on the slopes, my honey loves to ski. More than that we just love the magnificent grandeur of The Homestead and the Biltmore Estate.

These two landmark sites in Virginia and North Carolina reek of history and good old fashioned American entrepreneurial success at its best. These guys knew how to dream large. They had vision. Talk about “think and grow rich!” The Secret has always been alive and well. It’s just that not very many people knew about it. Just look at this video of the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway of North Carolina and see what I mean!

When you explore the links above you will be so excited. First of all the images melt your tension just looking at them. ( I call it my www mini mental vacation.) Check out the Italian Gardens and the Vineyards at The Biltmore. Did I mention the Equestrian Center? They aren’t kidding when they say “vacation like a Vanderbilt!”
Here’s a couple of wedding and honeymoon spots for Boomer’s. Besides all that, there is still Asheville to see while you are there.

Mineral Hot Springs

Maybe you’d just like a getaway. There is The Spa at The Homestead and whether you ski or not you can still take advantage of that even if you only go for a weekend. Have you not heard about the mineral waters at The Homestead? They don’t call it Hot Springs, Virgina for nuthin’.

Seriously Boomers! You could spend your next 10 vacations at these two beautiful American landmark treasures and you would still want to go back. If you haven’t been to either one yet, you are a deprived boomer and I don’t care if you have seen the world in the meantime.

Book your vacation today.
If you are a spontaneous type and just want to grab a getaway and would enjoy the drive, so much better for taking in the views because both locations are visual delights and the approach and anticipation are at least half the fun.

Stop working so hard all the time and go have some fun. Isn’t that the point of it all?
