Travel for BoomersPosted on: Sunday, 9 March 2008, 14:00 CDT A new travel Web site has been launched for baby boomers at www.boomeropia.com. "I happen to be a baby boomer, and I felt like the fun side of me wasn't being catered to and marketed to," said Web site founder Liz Dahl, 59, in a phone interview from her office in Louisville. "I was getting ads for medication and hearing aids."

Other categories include cruises, culinary travel, golf, fishing, and "glamping" - which means "glamorous" camping or camping trips where the tour operator does all the hard work for you, with comfortable tents and catered meals. There is also a forum section where readers can post photos and share their thoughts. - The Associated Press |
