|
The annual Long Beach Grand Prix in early April brings thousands of car racing fans to the area. Just south of Los Angeles, the seaside city is also a great destination for senior visitors.
Long Beach is filled with much to see and do. It’s 40 minutes from downtown Los Angeles, and close to Disneyland and other Southern California attractions. The city is served by the Blue Line train system, less than an hour’s ride from downtown Los Angeles directly to Long Beach. The airport, LGB, is served by Alaska, Allegiant Air, Delta, US Airways and JetBlue.
Some suggestions: Head down to harbor near Shoreline Village and rent a kayak from Boat Rentals of America. While paddling around the picturesque harbor, admire the skyline and check out the Queen Mary. The historic retired cruise ship carried famous movie star passengers in the 1930s and GIs during World War II.

Guest Senior Traveler MLO’S, Pittsfield MA: After retirement a decade ago, my spouse and I traveled the world. Dublin is my favorite international city, offering the best in food, people, art and history. For a start, while flying into Dublin, you’ll be amazed at the deep green of the land and fields of the Emerald Isle.
To get from the airport to the city, we took the Aircoach bus, which offers quick service to the center of Dublin, as well as all the main tourist hotels in the area. Fares are reasonable, at about $20 round trip.
