If you are traveling with people aged sixty and above, you should the following tips into consideration to make their vacation as comfortable and as pleasurable as yours.

o When you are traveling with someone who has medical needs, make sure you give them frequent breaks – more so during the hottest months of the year.

o Ensure that they drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and don’t get dehydrated.

o Carry a written prescription for any medication that they will need during the trip.

o Split their supply of medication into two parts – carry one when traveling and keep the other in the resort room. So, even if you lose your bag, they won’t lose their complete medical supply.

o Keep the resort informed of any significant health problems that the senior citizen may have. This background information can be helpful in getting proper treatment during an emergency.

o Pack some nightlights (and spare bulbs) so that the senior citizen will not have trouble navigating around the rooms at night.

o Bring a list that has the names and numbers of his/her physician(s) who need(s) to be contacted in case of an emergency.

o Plan ahead for their special dietary needs and contact the restaurant in advance to ensure that they get their diet.

o If their medication requires refrigeration, request that you have a refrigerator in your room.

o Ensure that they use sunscreen when stepping out during summer.

o If your travel dates are flexible, select the times of year that are less crowded and when cooler temperatures are the norm.
