Vacations for single seniors are a great way to meet people and experience new things.
There is an entire world at the fingertips of any single senior citizen. From Vermont to going back to school to touring the globe, vacation packages for single seniors take the stressful elements away from planning a vacation. Instead, single seniors have time to enjoy their hard-earned vacation and leave the planning to the others while learning about new places and meeting great people.
Wildflower Inn Vacation
New England has world-renowned foliage during September and October. The vibrant reds and oranges of the trees against the bright blue sky, and the mild, cool weather, make for a vacation to remember in this picturesque corner of the United States. The Wildflower Inn offers a vacation package for senior citizens who enjoy traveling and fall colors by combining the two in the Fall Foliage Midweek Explorers Package. The package includes a four-night stay at the Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville, Vermont, complete with a full country breakfast and afternoon snacks replete with famous Vermont Cabot cheese and apple cider. During the day, the staff provides maps of fall foliage tours in Northern New Hampshire, Southern Quebec and Vermont for individuals to explore at his or her leisure. The beautiful setting, tours and communal atmosphere of the Wildflower is a great way to meet other people, too. Prices start at $390 in the low season for a four-night package.
