On the eve of a brand new year, Christine, Chris and I — the dynamic trio behind Travel For Boomers — must say goodby to our readers. This is the last TFB post and the domain name, “TravelForBoomers.com,” is officially for sale.
Almost two years and 402 posts ago, we launched this little enterprise: a travel blog specifically for the Baby Boomer generation. Our goals were: (1) to help you learn how to travel frugally and affordably, yet always in style, (2) to entice you to visit some wonderful travel destinations in the U.S. and around the globe, and (3) to feed the souls of fellow Boomers who are as travel-crazy as we are!
Well, we kinda think we’ve done that. And believe me, it’s been a labor of love. We’ve met some terrific contributors who helped us make this enterprise so much fun, and we’ve enjoyed every Comment we’ve received, both here and on our Facebook page.
But (isn’t there always a “but”?) we also assumed Travel For Boomers would generate at least a little income that would allow us to pay our contributors and make the work involved in a daily blog worthwhile. While we waited for that income to materialize (via ad placements), Christine invested her own money so we could pay our writers, and Chris (our IT guru) and I worked on the blog every day for free.
Unfortunately — and for some reasons beyond our control — that income didn’t materialize. So, after much soul-searching and a big ol’ reality check, we’ve accepted the fact that we just can’t keep TFB going any longer.
As I said in the opening paragraph, our domain name is for sale. If you, or someone you know, may be interested in buying it, drop Christine an email at: czstreet@aol.com.
On behalf of Christine, Chris, and myself, THANK YOU to all of our contributors and readers. We hope you’ve had as much fun being a part of Travel For Boomers as we’ve had bringing it to you. Happy New Year! Happy Travels!
Mahalo…
