Travel tops dream list for boomers. An AARP national telephone survey of 29,000 older adults recently asked people to describe their “top dream.” Surprisingly, it was to travel. Two out of five older adults said that vacation and travel was their top dream, ranked above hobbies and interests (15 percent); kids, grandkids, family and friends (13 percent); faith and spirituality (6 percent); good health (6 percent); and career, job and work (5 percent).
