This is one of my favorite classic movies. And why
not? The film is full of Italian style and grace. The
scenery is breathtaking. The villages are lovely. The
people are charming..., And the pasta, and wine...
Delicioso!

Out & About
The late president, George H. W. Bush, liked
to celebrate his birthday by parachuting
out of an airplane. He made nine celebratory drops, seemingly without
injury. And if you’re heavily covered by an ironclad insurance policy,
you can do that, too.
For most of us, though, we’d rather do our flying inside a plane, even
if it’s crowded and uncomfortable.
But there’s good news! Major air carriers, in their quests to be more
profitable, are actually coming up with affordable individual upgrades,
which you can cherry pick to enhance your flights.
Delta is leading the pack by offering extra comfy seating, more
individual floor space with adjustable foot rests, and generous snacks
in their coach sections on many long haul flights. Also if you want
a comfortable break between flights, you can purchase an affordable
day pass to Delta’s air club where you’ll find the hidden delights of
a complementary buffet, luxury seating and resting areas, computer
hook ups, hot showers, news and weather updates, and delightful hosts
who will even keep you apprised of the status of your next flight.

So when my husband Ray and I decided
to host a European tour, Collette’s Spotlight on Tuscany
tour with Florence, Lucca, Siena, and more was a
natural choice. Plus, we’ll actually be under the Tuscan
Sun, and there’ll be no pesky packing and unpacking.
We’ll be staying in the delightful spa resort town
of Montecatini in a four star hotel just a short walk
from the charming city center. In fact, one of my best
friends, Iris Newman, who already had the good sense
to take this trip, has told me that exploring Montecatini,
meeting its locals, and enjoying spontaneous casual
gatherings at the end of the day were unexpected trip
highlights. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy
the Tuscan lifestyle. Call us at:

And with a little advance planning, you can phone your nearest
airport and inquire about their complementary wheelchair service.
Offered at most major airports, this assistance for seniors is usually
available whether you’re disabled or not. So don’t be shy.
Getting you safely to your destination is their goal, and you just need
to ask to enjoy this little known service. Plus there’s more good news. If
you provide your complete air schedule to the wheelchair service, they
will make arrangements to transfer you to your connecting flights, as
well.
With all the convenience and time you’ve saved, just before you get
on your flight, don’t forget to purchase a bottle of Gatorade or your
favorite ionized water to drink on board. Getting dehydrated, especially
on airplanes, is a major concern for seniors, but it’s easily remedied. so
drink up, stay healthy and enjoy your flight.
