Am I too old by taking a year out aged 75 to travel and visit family and sightseeing all within financial constraints

No!

Go you! Have an absolutely fantastic adventure!

No, you are not to old to travel.

We're fast up on 80, still travelling. No intention to stop.

to too

No- go for it- perfect timing. Where will you go?

No, certainly not. Have a great time.

No but

How does these short term plans fit into the long term?

What if the granny flat does not work? What if you need a higher level of care?

Oh go for it!

I had so many plans, but ill health came out of the blue. No more travelling for me.
Carpe diem!

Hithere

No but

what if ... life is for living to the full- and when you finally have the time and money to travel, just go for it

Absolutely not too old. Go ahead and do it.

Gosh, no, you're not too old! Enjoy your travels.

Do what’s going to make you happy!

Oh go for it!

I had so many plans, but ill health came out of the blue. No more travelling for me.
Carpe diem!

so sorry to hear Marydoll- but making the point so vividly.

Perhaps I overstated that FP. I only go to places, usually no more than two hours travelling time from home, self catering, so that I can retreat to bed if necessary and obviously within striking distance of medical care.

One day I was teaching, the following day I was told at a hospital appointment, that I would never work again. No time to prepare for that stage in my life. That is why you should never put things off, go for it now.

No-one will insure me, so I have to find alternatives to travelling to all the European countries, which we had planned to visit. In fact I'm off on Tuesday to the East Neuk of Fife for a few days, I can't wait!

Please go, as long as you’re in good health what’s stopping you?

Marydoll thanks for clarifying. And yes, in such cases as yours, before Brexit travelling to Europe would not have been a huge issue.

Due to Insurance issues, we are limited to Europe- but we have come to terms with not going to other side of the world again- so so much to discover in Europe still, and even by train. Take care.

Go, have a lovely time and take lots of photos.

We never know what tomorrow brings. Get insurances and go for it

Yes, make sure you are insured, and repatriation.

People will always find reasons "not to do something" so just go ahead and do it and have a wonderful time.

Life is short and you will always regret it if you don’t do it. Go for it.

Am so sorry Marydoll but well done for having some fun despite your restrictions. I hope you have a good time.

Life can change overnight quite unexpectedly in unpredictable ways, especially as we age, so best to live the best life whilst we are able.

You're very lucky to be in good health at 75, make the most of it. Go and have a ball..

Go for it while you are in good health! I made my last trip abroad (Venice) 5 years ago when I was 73 - however I did book special assistance at the airline to save on queuing.

Venice is not a city for the mobility impaired and I couldnt do some of the things I wanted but Im glad I saw that wonderful city for the last time.

Go for it. Put insurance in place and do what your instincts are saying. It seems to me we tend to regret the things we didn’t do, not the ones we did.

Enjoy your good health - do all the travel you want to and can afford to. Happy travelling 🧳 🚌 ✈️
