This book is written for people who love to do interesting things, go to new places and save money while doing it.

On your 50th birthday, you qualify for hundreds of special opportunities and money-saving offers, from vacation adventures to everyday benefits.

Now in it sixth edition, this bestseller book is crammed with information about travel adventures from whitewater rafting on the Colorado river to biking through France or canoeing in the Everglades.

There are discounts of up to 50 percent at hotels, motels and restaurants. You will find price breaks on airfares all over the world. Free rounds of golf at 1,700 golf courses as well as half price at the ski resorts or even free skiing.

Stores that offer senior discounts, commuter & long distance train and bus discounts are included.

Free lifetime admission to all national parks, monuments and recreation areas.

Plus much, much more.

First, keep in mind:

Rates, trips and privileges tend to change at a moment's notice, so be sure to check out each of them before you make you plans.

Sometimes the  discount is less then the specials they offer  for seniors, so always ask what specials they are offering and compare which is best.

Always ask for your discount when you make your reservations or at the time of purchase.

Remember that discounts may only apply between certain specific seasons of the year, certain days of the week as well as special hours, so be sure to ask.

Your identification

You should always carry your identification with proof of age or membership. If you are traveling out of the USA, you must have your American passport, which takes two to three months to get.

Your membership card, a birth certificate, resident lien card also should be taken. If you are old enough for a Medicare card or Senior ID card, use that.

This sounds like a great gift for my oldest sister. No one appreciates a bargain like she does!
