No generation in history has had a more profound effect on the society in which it exists than does the "baby-boomer" generation. Like a pig being digested by a python, this group, born between 1946 and 1964 has made a huge bulge in our culture, influencing every aspect from sexual freedom and music to fashion and social attitudes.

Now the boomers are arriving at the fringes of what used to pass for "old-age" and they're changing our attitudes about that too. In a recent survey the one thing these hard working "boomers" have said they were planning on doing when they retire is "travel more." But "boomers" aren't waiting for retirement, we're (yes, I'm a boomer, too) are traveling more, but often shorter vacations. We're looking for more enriching experiences in more exotic places. We've already been to the beach, now we want to see the Inca ruins at Machu Pichu or ride a gondola in Venice.

Boomers don't like too much structure in their travel. Just get them there, show them a few things and let them go. We boomers have spent our lives making things happen and we're not going to start letting tour leaders show us through the cathedrals and museums of the world. We like to do our own research, much of it on the internet (after all that's why you're here) and plan our own vacations. We hook up with a travel agent we know and trust and the rest is "baby-boomer-travel."

At this site we feature travel options and destinations from travel professionals who know what "boomers" are looking for. We hope you'll find it useful.
