    Like all the Guides at About.com, I'm a real person. You can email me at seniortravel.guide@about.com. Please forgive me if I don't respond right away - I'm probably on a trip, collecting new information to share with you.
    F.A.Q.
    How can I get quick information about planning a trip?
    Post your questions on the Senior Travel Forum. Just click on "Forums" in the box on the lower left side of this page.
    Do I need a U.S. passport to travel to Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean?
    That depends on how you're getting to and from your destination. Click here to find out whether you need a passport and how to apply for one.
    Does anyone offer discounts for senior travelers?
    While senior travel discounts aren't as common as they once were, you can still find a few good deals if you're willing to do some research. Click here to find out about senior discounts and other travel bargains.
    If I have a medical condition, can I still travel?
