Grumpies On Board by Carol E. Wyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Grumpies On Board is essentially an A-Z of holiday suggestions for the over 50’s. Containing more than 300 get-away ideas, it is sprinkled with jokes and written in a tongue-in-cheek narrative from the perspective of a “Grumpy Old Couple” who no longer want to put up with screaming children, nor are they ready for coach tours and tea dances for the elderly.
The author adds comical touches to the book from her own background as a comedian, who runs a show called “Smile While You Still Have Teeth”.
Although not yet ready for the Grumpy age bracket I did find several holiday suggestions which appealed, here were my favourites; Castle holidays, canal boating, bear watching, healing hotels, spa breaks, seeing the Northern Lights, a safari, storm chasing, touring the Australian Outback, Volcano tours, a Voodoo tour and Whale watching.
Plenty of ideas to keep any Grumpy occupied.

Ha, ha, got one of my own thanks, we might get to the west coast of Canada on our next trip, fancy a bit of whale watching. We do have older teenagers in tow at the moment.

Some great holiday ideas here for any age! I think people in their 50s and 60s get grumpy when they find themselves bracketed in with geriatrics.
