I started a thread that’s started the whole world smiling, and with apologies to the Bee Gees mine’s is the Saga of Over 140 Tours.
My old employers from my student days in Aberdeen, where we made lunches for their day trips in Grampian, have been in touch.
And they have flagged up their brochure Worldwide with the tagline Over 140 Tours to explore worldwide.
Now I know we’re all living longer but Over 140s?
Saga, as well as being my summer employers which funded my Top Deck Oktoberfest booze bus antics was also my parents’ go-to travel providers.
Worldwide vision
Saga has built its reputation on providing the best travel for the over-50s.
And yes that’ll creep up on you although these guys speed up rather than slow down.
It’s not nicknamed Sex And Games For The Aged for nothing.
Saga are teasing us in their new Worldwide brochure with somewhere very close to home which is home.
Dream experiences
Scotland is new on the menu alongside Valencia, the Azores and India.
Alongside old favourites across Europe, Asia, Australia, Borneo and more.
Of course Saga offers dream experiences across the travel spectrum…
You know… solo tours, stay and explore, small group tours and escorted tours.
Now as Saga like to start as they go on they’ll take the stress out of your door to airport experience by giving you a VIP driver.
Either to London or your local airport.

And because it’s what would make my missus happy then I’ll flag up the sample Journey on the Mighty Mississippi.
