Summary:
When Ben Aitken learned that his gran had enjoyed a four-night holiday including four three-course dinners, four cooked breakfasts, four games of bingo, a pair of excursions, sixteen pints of lager and luxury return coach travel, all for a hundred pounds, he thought, that's the life, and signed himself up. Six times over. Good value aside, what Ben was really after was the company of his elders -- those with more chapters under their belt, with the wisdom granted by experience, the candor gifted by time, and the hard-earned ability to live each day like it's nearly their last. A series of coach holidays ensued -- from Scarborough to St Ives, Killarney to Lake Como -- during which Ben attempts to shake off his thirty-something blues by getting old as soon as possible.
