This place is popular for fishing, caving, bush walking, canoeing, swimming or just take a picnic and enjoy the fauna and flora.  Trout fishing though is very popular and when the dam is high there are more chances of catching a good fish.

Its a long drive from Sydney so plan on staying a few days and enjoying the whole area.    It is best to go in the early or late Summer when the temperatures aren't so extreme.  The winter can be cold but the skies clear.

If you like fishing or camping then Wee Jasper is worth checking out.

Many hotels and tourist spots have special facilities for seniors and often at an discounted prices.  Older people should always be alert to their surroundings, first because they don’t know the place and may not have any knowledge of its culture if traveling overseas, and second, seniors can be vulnerable and seen as an easy mark for thieves.  Also when booking a hotel ask about whether the shower is in the bath, that can make a big difference if you have mobility problems or if you are like me and afraid of falling in a slippery bath.

Seniors should make sure they carry all the appropriate documents they needed just in case a problem may occur like identity cards, passports, visas and a driving license. Make sure to make photocopies of these entire documents and keep it on a safe place. Ensure that all your documents are valid and as much as possible take out the original documents.

Choose if you want to travel by train, bus, ship or plane. It’s better to use airplanes if the destination is far and time is short.  Also vacation travel with friends or in a group is perfect. Organized groups for seniors are often more slow paced and perfect for your needs and is a safe way to travel.

Before the trip, get a thorough physical checkup.  When going on your vacation travel it's good to  know you are healthy and fit to avoid being on a trip to all the hospitals where you’re going.  Get vaccinations if needed.  Don’t forget to bring your medicines with you and make sure to include your prescriptions. This also applies to your glasses as well and I like to take a spare pair if I have one.

It’s better to prepared everything you needed on a vacation travel ahead of time to avoid unnecessary stress and regret later.

Words for the Music

I hope you enjoyed and the music which was very uplifting wasn't it.  I will be doing some reviews of the Philippines in posts in the future.

I'm not someone who is just out there to make a buck and who doesn't care that your holiday may be ruined by their advice.  I am a fellow vacation traveler. Saving money where possible for traveling is something I'm very serious about.  If I can save today it means I can travel tomorrow. I like staying in all types of hotels as long as they provide good value, are clean and safe.   What I mean is, that I like quality hotels and that doesn't always mean how much you pay.

I love cruising and have traveled alone, on single cruises, with my partner and also in a group.  See my page on cruising for more information on my trips so far (page in progress).  Cruising is a very relaxing vacation and I hope you get to love it as much as I do.  Even if you have never thought of cruising before, read my experiences and it may change your mind.

I love luggage and travel accessories (I am a typical woman). What you take with you can make or break an otherwise well planned vacation.
I have lots of vacation travel tips and ways to stay healthy and travel safely, and also for making and managing my money so I can keep on traveling for years to come.

I am not a so called 'expert advisor' or 'guru', but a real person who loves traveling, has been researching travel and health issues on the internet for over 16 years and who now wants to share this knowledge with you to offer you honest, personal and unbiased travel information. I know, I can hear you say, "suddenly everyone is a critic", and you may well think how can I help you when we all have different expectations? Why should you listen to me?  Who is she anyway?  You can get more information about me from my About Me page and make up your own mind.

Vacation travel is my passion and I hope you can save some time, money and avoid some travel disasters from reading Angeltraveler.
