I've lived in South Korea, Colombia and Ghana, and have been fortunate to travel in 48 different countries, but the place I really want to see is "La Sagrada Familia" in Barcelona, Spain. But at the age of 87 and problems with my balance, due to a head injury, I am hesitant to travel alone any more. If anyone has suggestions on how I can make this dream trip easily and economically, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Take a younger friend, perhaps a  grandchild? Travel light but include aTransfer chair". Travel midweek, business class if possible. Business class gives access to lounges with food, wifi, comfortable seating & more). You'll probably have a connection. Make it a "comfortable time" one. I requested a 4h11m one for a trip this month, rather than accept a 1hr40m run from 1 building to another. 

Stay outside of Barcelona proper, perhaps nearer the airport? Have your accommodation arrange airport pick up and use a guide to maximize sights and minimize walking. This was my first year to take a cane, and It came in handy :-)! 

Buen viaje,

Hey @SpringIsHereVA,

 

Other than the locations that I named in another comment further in this thread, I would probably spend my money right here in the good ole USA.

 

Why visit other countries when I know so little about my own?

 

I would visit all 50 states, all the National Parks, all the state capitals, sail the rivers and lakes, and scale mountains.

NO public transportation for me. Would take a "road trip" to ALL the locations in Florida I have NEVER seen! 😉

 

I live in Melbourne, Florida and retired July 2020. 🥳💃

Like the land of make believe with Mr. Rogers? 

 

Not being on a vay cay since 2004, I don't really have any desire to go anywhere, even my old vacation destinations have changed, they just wouldn't be the same.... why change my ways at this point in life?

 

My brother, who I no longer speak with, said before COVID I should "Travel Asia", really though being dropped off 6000 miles away in a country where I cannot communicate, figure out currency, etc. .. some may call this an adventure, I'd call it pure frustration!    🙂

Probably back to Maui. Been there 7 times. Can't get enough. Sometimes I can smell it in the air. Just a sense of being home, as silly as it sounds. Live on the east coast yet feel that call.

Life is funny.

I would probably want to visit the various origins of civilization/government as we know it.

 

Places like Beijing, Athens, Rome.
