Talk to your doctor and see if they can write you a new prescription if you don't think one fill of the medication is going to be enough. A good idea is to have a little extra just in case as well. Make sure there is a way to get a hold of your doctor is anything was to come up as well.
Next when it comes to senior trip planning you will want to make sure all your finances are in order. Make sure any bills that may be due while you are gone are paid up. Also you will want to make sure you have enough money with you to cover any extra expenses that may come. A good rule of thumb is to have twice as much than what you actually think you need. The last thing you want is to be stuck in the hotel for the last part of your trip with no money to do anything. Also make sure you are using traveler's checks instead of a credit card. This can help you avoid anyone stealing your card and committing any credit card fraud.
Senior trip planning should also include finding out about health coverage. Make sure you know exactly what kind of coverage your health insurance provides. If your health insurance does not provide coverage, look into medical assistance or short-term coverage. While some people say that senior travel insurance can be harder to find, it isn't impossible to find. This is an important aspect of planning your trip, since seniors can have more health problems and you never know what may happen while traveling. Being prepared in this aspect can be invaluable.
When it comes to senior trip planning, keeping in mind these few simple tips will get you far. If you are careful and take the time to really plan your trip, you will have ease of mind and that makes for a great trip indeed.
