Does your retirement plan include travel? Let two retired Baby Boomers help you enjoy a relaxed, fun-filled summer in Europe. * Please Note: A LARGE PRINT edition is also available. *Their lighthearted retirement travel guide shows you how to . . .  ~ Choose countries that sound interesting--places you've always wanted to visit.  ~ Travel by ship, plane, train, bus, tram, taxi--no driving on the wrong side of the road required.  ~ Settle into a European city for a week or a month. Get to know the place and its people better than is possible on a whirlwind tour.  ~ String together a few month-long stays in different cities. Why not? You're retired. Your time is your own.  ~ Stay in rented apartments--so easy to arrange using the Internet.  ~ Cook for yourself--and sample as much or as little of the "native cuisine" as you dare.  ~ Live like locals as far as is conveniently possible and as frugally as you need to.  ~ Look for sufficient adventure to spice things up--enough, but not too much--find whatever level of challenge suits you.  Let SLOW TRAVEL--RETIRED AND LOVING IT! inspire you to plan your own Slow Travel adventure.Larry and Lynn say, "Slow Travel makes a summer in Europe easier and less expensive than you think.
