Work your way up to a longer trip.<\/p>\n<p>Asking family to watch your kids is the most affordable way, but sometimes you might have to hire a nanny. \u00a0Imagine if you&#8217;ve got a parent who lives far away, there couldn&#8217;t be a better time for them to bond. \u00a0Use some frequent flyer miles to fly them out to your house (which won&#8217;t cost you anything) and they&#8217;ll love it. \u00a0Most grandparents I know would be more than willing to do this. \u00a0 The best part is&#8230;it&#8217;s cheap!<\/p>\n<h2>Your health might not last<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest. \u00a0Taking a backpacking trip through Southeast Asia at 75 doesn&#8217;t sound like reality. \u00a0Nor does taking the Eurorail and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.couchsurfing.org\">couchsurfing<\/a> across Europe work for most people who are 72. \u00a0It&#8217;s not because their hearts are too young. \u00a0Their bodies are simply too old. \u00a0Some medical conditions don&#8217;t allow for the flexibility that travel requires.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a friend whose husband is on dialysis. \u00a0They have a hard time going anywhere that is over an hour away. \u00a0You just never know medically what might happen to you. \u00a0For that reason it&#8217;s important to go when you know your health is good&#8211;right now!<\/p>\n<h2>If you don&#8217;t take your spouse traveling now, someone else might later<\/h2>\n<p>I know a lady whose husband worked hard his whole life. \u00a0He was approaching 65 and getting prepared for retirement. \u00a0They had worked and saved their entire lives for their retirement, and they were looking forward to the trips they would take as a couple and all the time they would spend together. \u00a0Everything seemed like it was going perfect.<\/p>\n<p>About six months before he turned 65 she woke up morning next to her husband who had passed away in his sleep. \u00a0They never took those vacations they had always dreamed about. \u00a0All their preparation for the &#8220;twilight&#8221;
