Staying Healthy for Years of Travel and Exploring

Wow...I do NOT want that to be my story!!! 😓I absolutely love to travel.  It doesn't really matter where I am heading-I am sure to make it a fun time.  Planning travel for me is almost as much fun as the travel itself.  My personal goal is to go to all 7 continents...and I need to get going!! JMA Wireless Dome with Onondaga Lake in the background on our latest flight home from Jacksonville, FL.   I am "not young"...as a matter of fact, I am a 65 year old, Medicare, Social Security, Pension kind of "not young"!!  As the years tick on-my ability to travel may get more challenging.  I hope not!   I have been blessed with amazing DNA by birth.  My Paternal Grandparents were born in the 1880's and lived to be into their late 80's.  My Maternal Grandfather died in his late 70's-but it could have been curtailed by following Doctor recommendations for diet with his adult-onset diabetes- stubborn guy!! My Maternal Grandmother...born in 1900 lived to be 102.

We have enjoyed 14 awesome all-inclusive trips to various Caribbean Islands and Mexico.  When people think of an all-inclusive vacation they imagine "flying and flopping" and not exploring the area at all.  Relaxing... We do that as part of our vacation-but definitely get out and about exploring and seeing the area the rest of the trip.  On this particular visit to the 37 sq. mile island of St. Maarten/St. Martin, we left the resort 4 different days to explore.  We did not go to a bunch of the many beaches to swim, however we saw some different beaches.  Here's how we managed our time from start to finish. We traveled late April with my college roommate and her sister.  The 4 of us have traveled together to 11 all-inclusive vacations-so we have a routine that works well for us that we have successfully replicated 11 times! Thursday : We arrived about 2:30 at Hampton Inn & Suites Syracuse North Airport Area.  This was our second stay at this hotel, and is a great place
