Spend As Much Time With the Seniors in Your Life as Possible 

After having lost all of my grandparents, and one of my parents, it has reminded me how important time with our loved ones truly is and how you will never get that time back.  

Don’t waste any time you have with family members getting older, if nothing else, at least pick up the phone and let them know you’re thinking about them. And see if they want to take a trip to one of these locations soon.

The Official U.S. Government 'Do Not Travel' List

Traveling to unique and exotic places rather than the usual tourist traps can be quite an adventure. However, it's crucial to research your destination thoroughly.

While every trip comes with some degree of risk, requiring you to mind your surroundings and take some precautions, there are some places you just shouldn't visit, as they are not worth the risk.

The United States government has a convenient website that helps by listing travel advisories they have in place for countries all over the world, ranking the risk from Level 1 through Level 4.

If a country is issued a Level 4 advisory, you should NOT travel there. As of November 2024, the countries below are on the 'Do Not Travel' list.
