Looking for any opinions please!!! ...

How does she react to the heat/cold at home? I know many older than her who love one or the other. Its not really possible to generalise about ones likings.

The only recommendation I would make is that there is sufficient rest time factored into the journey - but then again I know many 72 year olds and older who are far fitter and keep going longer than I can at 10 years younger. You really need to talk with her and find out her interests. She may be harbouring a deep desire thats never been discussed of lying on a beach in sunny Greece\Turkey\Italy after a day spent at the historical sites - then again she may want to go trekking in a wilderness and there are many small tour parties made up of older groups. Theres a couple of groups who specialise in over 55s - and some American groups specialise in older womens groups.

If its her first trip and shes a bit hesitant that may be the way to consider which would allow her to enjoy her first journey without the attendant worries of making connections etc etc.

I do hope she makes a choice that suits her.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with age, some people just don't enjoy too much heat and/or humidity, including myself (and I'm half your grandmother's age). I once took a holiday in a Mediterranean country in August and found it tough going, I love to walk around all day when I travel and at 30C that becomes very uncomfortable for me - so I learned that if I want to visit southern Europe I should go in spring or autumn. Maybe your grandmother has a similar reaction to similar conditions in the UK (during the relatively short periods they occur), in which case she's probably right to think that she wouldn't enjoy more extreme conditions. Anyway there are plenty of countries with moderate climates, so it's not really limiting her options. If she has never flown before it might be best to start with Europe anyway - starting off with a long-haul flight might put her off completely! And nearly anywhere in Europe should have a suitable climate if visited at the right time of year - which your grandmother could presumably do, not being restricted by school holidays and the like.

The problem with your question is that you lump an entire country into a weather pattern for an entire year. I know of very few countries in which the entire country experiences an extreme weather pattern for the whole year. So, for instance, she might not want to visit Florida, USA in August but she could visit Seattle, Washington or visit Florida, but in November when it's mild. It's perfectly legitimate to want to avoid weather extreme's, but that usually doesn't mean one has to avoid traveling to an entire country forever.

Some folks are iold when they're still in high school.

I'm 68. I live in 40 c. As a Texan seems like I'd shun that.
But Seville is worth it. Although I'm thinking a lot about Bilbao these days. 22c.

I stay in youth hostels usually. Lasdt one was a dorm for 6. Its all they had. Stayed three nights. Only had a person share it one night. Well two guys on a pilgrimage. Both my age.

The time b4 that was a dorm for four. One of my roomies was a 70 year old German marithon runner.

Lots of brits like and live at Costa del Fugitves.

Interesting; Antonio Banderas got scammed on a real estate scam, usually reserved for brit's life savings.

Big house, built illegally, with no building permit. His walled off yard blocks the usual public acsess to the beach. Maybe he can have an impact on that oft used tort.

OIn vcaxcation, we're supposed to experience stuff that's different from the rut.

I travel a lot, and readily admit I don't like spending a lot of time in hot and humid countries... it's just uncomfortable, slows me down, and as someone mentioned, makes it more difficult for getting around... but that doesn't stop me from going to places that interest me! and that is the bottom line. I might just budget a bit more, and indulge myself in accomodations with A/C a bit more often.... which is what I did for two months in West AFrica. .

Like my spelling, frinstnce.

I'm 63 and just love hot countries; 'bring 'em on!' I always said.

But that was until earlier this year when I went to Khartoum. Summer comes early there. Phew! 46 celsius in the shade!!!

I spent one day out and two recovering, alternately, over the next 10 days. :>)
