Since most of the baby boomer generation are now in their 60s and retired, there are places to go and things to see.

In 2019, Travel + Leisure posted about places for people in their 60s (I don't know how I missed it). It is in the format of a slideshow.

They begin it with:

According to a  derived from the most recent U. S. Census, by age 63 nearly half of United States workers have retired. That leaves quite a few 60-somethings still at work in either full-time or part-time jobs.

Financial situations vary greatly, from limited fixed incomes to affluent retirees and high earners. Most 60-somethings are healthy and mobile, but others have health concerns that may limit travel or at least require consideration when planning.

The good news is that there are travel opportunities to meet almost every need and interest. That means it’s time to start checking off some of those bucket list items. Or just getting away for some rest and relaxation. Others want adventure and exotic faraway places. Some want to explore the lands of their ancestors, and still others are looking at staycations that finally give them time to see the local spots that tourists visit when they come to their cities and towns.

Our list includes a little of everything, from cruises to train trips to bucket list adventures, so we hope a few of these destinations and ideas will inspire you to get out there and see the world.
