Nowadays, many elderly people who will live and love their life after retirement are often on a 'go, go' trip. As children of office workers, although they can not often accompany travel, but looking at the photos of parents in the circle of friends indulge in landscape, happy pose, or will mouth up! So, what should the elderly pay attention to when traveling?
What do you need to do before traveling?
1. Physical examination
Before traveling, the middle-aged and old people must rationally plan their travel routes, and then choose the destination and detailed itinerary according to their own physical conditions. They should not be forced to travel together or have family members.
2. Time planning
Before traveling, we must choose the best season. The elderly should take the initiative to avoid the peak season and golden week. On the one hand, it can avoid the danger of crowding. On the other hand, it can save the cost of air tickets and accommodation in off-season. And for the elderly, the weather is too cold and too hot to travel, so the best period should be spring and autumn. Warm spring and fragrant osmanthus are the best time for the elderly to travel.
3. Scenic spot selection
According to their own physical condition, mountain climbing and strenuous exercise are not suitable. In addition to choosing new places that they are interested in and haven't been to, the destination environment and travel rhythm should also be considered, and the travel time should not be too long.
4. Travel preparation
Before traveling, we should first understand the local weather conditions, prepare suitable clothes according to the weather and temperature, and no matter where we travel, the elderly should wear soft and comfortable slippers or sports shoes, and at the same time, it is best to take commonly used drugs, such as carsickness medicine, cold medicine, etc. Patients with hypertension should not forget to take antihypertensive drugs; those with poor heart should take Jiuxin Pill or Suxiao Jiuxin Pill.
5. Personal safety
The elderly should eat light diet, less instant noodles and more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation. Valuables should be taken with you. When you check out, you must check carefully to see if there are any things in the bathroom, drawer or under the pillow.
In addition, don't give the bag to others easily. Before traveling, you need to buy insurance just in case. For the elderly team, the most important thing is to buy travel accident insurance. These are the things that the elderly should pay attention to. After all, as they get older, all aspects of their body function decline. The most important thing is their body, followed by having fun. What's the best way for middle-aged and old people to travel? These four ways are all good!
What kind of travel do you choose?
Automobile Group
It is more suitable for tourism destinations with closer distance. In order to reduce the long-distance driving distance and make the elderly feel uncomfortable.
Aircraft regiment
It is more suitable for distant tourist destinations (including overseas tourism). The plane group is more comfortable than the car group. But need to remind old friends is, must check their physical condition is suitable for flying. The suitable places are Yunnan, Hainan, Guilin, Sichuan, etc.; overseas, it is basically necessary to take a plane.
Train regiment
It is more suitable for distant tourist destinations. Compared with the plane group, the train group is more suitable for the elderly, because the plane has certain requirements for physical condition. Suitable places are Tibet, Xinjiang, Beijing, Guilin, etc.
Cruise group
It is more suitable for outbound and Three Gorges tourism destinations. Cruise has become the 'fourth way of travel'. Humanized services, complete hardware facilities and rich activity arrangements are most suitable for the elderly to experience leisure and leisurely 'slow life'. What should the middle-aged and old people take when they travel?
What do you take with you when you travel?
1. One more dress
The temperature difference between morning and night is relatively large, and the elderly's body's adaptability to climate change is relatively poor. We must spare more clothes for a rainy day!
2. Wear the right sports shoes
If the shoes are not suitable, then tourism will become a suffering thing, so we must put on soft fit sports shoes, so that tourism can become relaxed and happy.
3. Prepare a mug
If young people feel thirsty when traveling, they can buy a bottle of mineral water to quench their thirst and replenish water. However, it is not suitable for old people to drink cold mineral water, so they should pay attention to bringing a thermos cup, so that they can drink hot water at any time when traveling, and replenish water for the body.
4. Take your usual medicine
If the elderly suffer from diabetes or hypertension and other diseases, we must take the drugs we are taking. These drugs can not be stopped in the middle of the way, or they may bring danger to the elderly. This must be remembered.
5. Take a crutch with you
Some old people may feel that they walk well and don't need crutches to travel, but in fact, when traveling, they usually walk for a long time, especially those who need to climb a small mountain. If they don't take crutches, they may be very tired. It's better to prepare a crutch.
