Just wondered if anyone has found any discounts for those over 50 while traveling. Most seem to be tailored to those over 65 (darn them!).
FYI, if anyone is ever in Cincinnati, everything you buy on Sundays at Goodwill is half-price.  It doesn't beat a discount on train travel in Europe, but it's something...______________________________________________ Mardee Travels in Turkey 2007 Easter in Italy It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Not that I'm there yet---but don't AARP discounts start at age 50?
If I recall correctly they have a travel section for their members. Words of Wisdom: You can never get a drunk to lower their voice. |

Oh, be still my heart! The thing about AARP is that they are useless lackeys (See: support for recent drug bill for seniors) and that one gets the exact same discount with AAA. AARP won't change my flat tire. |

What, the thrill of half-price Goodwill discounts doesn't excite you?
 I actually just switched from AAA and joined Better World Club based in Portland, OR. I found out that AAA has been lobbying heavily on behalf of the auto industry and against the environment by using the clout of their huge membership (even though most of their members don't realize what they're up to).

I was debating whether to keep my AAA membership active during my RTW so I thank you for this post and for confirming my suspicions about AAA. I have long been unhappy about their preference for highway construction over mass transit solutions but didn't think I could do without, especially in Los Angeles.

Yeah, I canceled mine after I found out about this, and joined Better World.
By the way, I also happily found out that AARP is something of a liberal organization (who'd a thunk it?). Just read Bill O'Reilly - he's "unmasked" them. ______________________________________________ Mardee Travels in Turkey 2007 Easter in Italy It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

Over here, it's 55 plus and if you are no longer working full time.
But I won't be joining them when I am old enough to ,I'll just stick with my current one. Have a nice day, Whistler. If you can keep a sense of humour and see the funny side of life, you will never be old. SMC |
