Now that I am a septuagenarian (a person who is between the ages of 70 and 79 years old), the following article caught my attention.

It is on RVers who are in their 70s are still traveling (not slowing down), but changing how they travel. I have changed how I travel in my RV in recent years. 

RV Travel posted the article on this subject yesterday and it begins with:

Spend time in RV parks, snowbird destinations, or popular retirement travel areas and you’ll find plenty of RVers in their 70s who are still traveling extensively. For many, the biggest change isn’t whether they travel, but how they travel.

That’s not exactly news. RV travel has long been popular with retirees.

What’s more interesting is how many RVers in their 70s are continuing to travel—and how many are changing the way they do it.

For some, that means fewer 400-mile driving days. For others, it means staying a week or a month instead of moving every few days. Many are choosing comfort over mileage and experiences over trying to check destinations off a list.

They’re still traveling. They’re just doing it differently.
