Greg Shenkman's Travel Blog

So my mom is turning 70 in July and I wanted to surprise her and take her somewhere really nice for her birthday. I have been tossing around a few ideas but it’s hard to decide where to take your mom. I don’t think a hot tropical island would be the best choice for someone of her age, and Europe entails a lot of walking, so that’s out. I was thinking of a nice cruise because it would be easy for her and there would be a lot of activities for her to do. A friend of mine suggested the Alaskan cruise because her birthday is in July and that is supposed to be the best time to go. If you have any better suggestions, let me know. It needs to be simple, yet something she’ll enjoy.
