  1. Ann Arbor Senior Care Tip: Senior Travel Suggestions for each Season SPRING Springtime thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes, hail and flooding are problematic.  Choose a morning flight or travel departure time. If weather causes trip delays or cancelations, you will have more options throughout the day to schedule alternative travel.  Check weather at connecting travel cities, not just at your destination. If weather looks threatening, you can contact your airline, train operator, etc. to see if you can be rerouted. SUMMER Seniors are susceptible to hyperthermia with heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.  Stay well-hydrated. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and be sure to drink up. Plan ahead on your day excursions to refill or restock your water supply as you go.  Wear and reapply sunscreen regularly. Caregivers can help with slathering on sunscreen. UV protection is essential for those with thinning hair or bald heads. FALL Autumn’s shortening days plus freezing drizzle and fog can reduce visibility on leaf-slick roads.  Slow down on wet pavement. On road trips, keep plenty of distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you.  Bring along a GPS, compass and map on outdoor adventures.Your cellphone’s directional apps may not work in remote travel locations. WINTER Extreme cold, snow, ice and brutal winds usher in chilling reality for holiday and winter travel.  Pack clothing that can be layered rather than bulky items. Choose thin, insulating layers including a wool layer that helps regulate body temperature.  Plan ahead for a possible overnight at the airport or train/bus station. If your flight or other public transportation is canceled, it is best to be prepared with extra cash, medications and personal care items.
