quiet getaways for older women
Can you suggest places in the Caribbean or Florida that would provide quiet, relaxation, a beach to walk on, good food, for a woman in her 60's traveling alone who just needs a few days to recharge? where would she feel safe, be able to be in nature, and not be around loud partying or people trying to pick her up.

The Buccaneer Resort on St Croix. A perfect self-contained, historic property with three beaches, tennis, golf, great food and wonderful service. The resident owner/manager is a woman; a descendent of the original owner.

If you look under my name, you will find more details I posted about our family visit there last June.

As you say, you love Europe. Have you ever cycled? I too am in my 60s and have fairly recently discovered cycling vacations. I particularly like the bike-and-boat tours where I've met people from all over the world and most are in my age group. I love the sense of accomplishment, being out in the fresh air, interacting with locals and being absorbed in my own thoughts while cycling. I've posted a detailed review on a tour in the Netherlands during tulip season: http://packinglighttravel.com/cyclin...ike-and-barge/
and there are a few albums on my cycling trips at the site. Good luck.

Bermuda. Walk the Bermuda Railway Trail or the beach. Visit the Botanical Gardens. Stay at the Rosedon or Edgehill Manor in town. Take ferry rides. I am 68, travel solo to Bermuda every winter and have never felt unsafe.

I think the answer to the OP's question, in my experience, is anyone who'd like to pick us up is too weak & decrepit to do it. The rest want someone else. On the other hand, maybe it's comforting to live in the past, as we're constantly accused of doing at this point.
