In this episode, the FAQ is: How do I manage increasing technology and security for travel?

Today’s Destination is: Milan, Italy

Today’s Misstep- I almost took a train to Switzerland at the Milan station

Travel Advice: Bring a handheld portable fan for the heat. It can be oppressive.

FAQ: The level of technology and security has stepped up for travel and entertainment. How do I manage it as a senior citizen in a very busy world?

Answer:

There is a growing level of distrust in today’s environment. For some venues, you can no longer use a screenshot of a QR code to access a ticket, so it must be a live link if you don’t have the paper ticket. If you are not on Wi-Fi, you may have trouble accessing the venue, like I did in July at the Symphony, where we used handwritten paper tickets.

The Crowdstrike tech shutdown of computers in July 2024, with thousands of airline flights canceled, was a peek into what could be an even longer period of shutting down air travel, train travel, and more. So, you need to develop options for adapting your transportation.

Get educated.

The questions will keep coming, but you can figure it out. Keep listening here for more confidence-building guidance.

Today’s destination: Milan, Italy

Milan is in northern Italy and is known for its history, culture, and fashion. Many styles originate here, so people-watching is a favorite activity.

The famous Duomo Cathedral, a Catholic Church, is in the city's center. I walked around twice to get the full picture and people-watch. I also did some pigeon watching, as there were plenty of them here in this vast square, filled with tourists in the middle of July. Metro stops were plentiful below the square, and the church filled the plaza. People are walking above the church’s structure, near the roof, and you can see them below.

Shopping:

You can shop at great stores, especially in the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II. It’s great even just for looking for fashion ideas.

Tip 2: Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
