Rainforest at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Carpe diem!  I learned of another terrific discount for seniors.  It is the Senior Pass offered by the USGS.  For a fee of $20 you can obtain a lifetime pass that "provides access to more than 2,000 recreation sites [national parks] managed by five Federal agencies, with up to 100% of the proceeds being used to improve and enhance visitor recreation services." Any U.S. citizen 62 or older is eligible for the pass.  You can learn how to obtain the pass here:  http://store.usgs.gov/pass/senior.html.  With a photo ID, the Senior Pass" admits pass owners and passengers in a non-commercial vehicle at per-vehicle fee areas and pass owner + 3 adults, not to exceed 4 adults, where per-person fees are charged. (Children under 16 are always admitted free.)"  Grand Canyon, here I come ... again!  And here is a travel website specifically for seniors:  http://www.suddenlysenior.com/travelpage.html.

Tomorrow I will discuss tips to prevent memory loss ... if I can remember where I put my notes. ♥
