What activity do you refuse to give up? How do you adapt to age?

Road Scholar designates level of difficulty with each trip,
and they are very accommodating, but I never want to be
the person holding others up. So, now I am "in training" by riding farther & farther each week to build up my stamina
for a trip next fall.....& hope for the best.
Thank you for the suggestion about Sojourn; I will look into them. K

I know precisely what you mean about not being the person holding others up. My partner and I did our first Road Scholar trip to the Mediterranean a few years ago, and you're right, Road Scholar is very accommodating.
There was one funny moment, though, when a group of us was climbing slowly, slowly, slowly back aboard the Road Scholar bus. The travel package––to places like Athens, Mycenae, Tyre, and Alexandria, ––had been titled "Voyages to Antiquity." One wisea** on line behind my partner and I, frustrated by how slowly the line was moving, snapped, "Forget 'Voyages TO Antiquity.' This is more like 'Voyages OF Antiquity'!"
