Here are some essential tips to help ease the stress and make your jour- ney more enjoyable and hassle -free. Give Yourself A Budget: Your next vacation doesn't have to break the bank. Simply decide on the type of accommodations that you'll enjoy and set aside a realistic budget. Be on the lookout for travel deals such as senior discounts, best rate guarantees and vacation packages. Remember to pack your proof of age identity card and any senior club membership cards. Plan Ahead: Research your destina- tion and remember to book hotel reservations well in advance. Look for national hotel chains that cater to seniors, such as Days Inn with its offering of amenities including a free Daybreak Cafe breakfast at most locations and free high-speed Internet access. Play It Safe: Pack any medications or prescriptions in your carry -on bag and bring along enough medication to last you the entire trip. Visit your doc- tor to learn about potential travel health risks before you begin your trip and consider prepar- ing a first aid kit for the road. Security On The Road: Before departing, make sure you have adequate insurance coverage. Always carry your supple- mental travel and health Ten ways to savour summer (NC)—As the long, lazy days of August arrive, keep it fresh with these fun ideas. They're guaranteed to help you relive the joys of your childhood, while savouring the moments that will fuel your kids' nos- talgia when they're older. Heed the call of the ice cream truck. Go for ice cream cones on the hottest day of the year. So what if it melts down your arm - that's what sprinklers are for. Have a summer snowball fight. If you have an indoor ice arena in your town, there should always be a big pile of snow at the side of the building. Take a couple of cool- ers, fill them up and have a snowball fight in a heat wave. Host an outdoor movie night. Rent a projector and a few of your favourite classic summer movies. Hang a sheet up as a screen and make lots of popcorn because word will quickly spread through your neighbourhood that it's movie time. Pack an old-fashioned picnic. Keep it simple: sandwiches, bottled drinks, cookies and fruit - and don't forget the blanket. Make a summer scrapbook. Include everything in it - even the little stuff - to help keep the memories of summer alive through the winter. Swim in real water. Nothing beats clipping your toes into the cold waters of a lake or the ocean, then bracing yourself for the shock of a full-body dip. Carve a watermelon. Enjoy the sweet taste of summer Have a seed -spitting contest. Take in an afternoon baseball game. Or soccer or football. Eat hot dogs, cotton candy and drink pop while cheering on the home team. � Have a bonfire. Sing campfire songs, tell scary stories, and make some ooey gooey s'mores. Pick your own fruit and vegetables. Visit a farm and get in touch with where food really comes from. 510 Help Wanted 510 Help Wanted insurance policy with you and review all insurance requirements before you leave. Keep the telephone num- ber of your insurer handy in case of emergency.
