[quote=Anonymous]Just returned from big family travel with my parents (in their mid-late 70s). It was a very hyped up trip to an international country. My parents were ready to go w/ the flow - since we were traveling w/ a mid-sized group. They haven’t travelled in about 7-years. Well - it was a tough trip and turned out to be way harder than anyone expected. Issues included nausea, diarrhea, complaints about hotels, food, luggage, being disorganized, hot, hungry, not liking the group and tour guide, too much activity, the list goes on. I tried very hard to be understanding and patient while also trying to enjoy the trip with my own kids. But I was overwhelmed. I feel guilty for not being more understanding and patient and kind with my parents and more fun and present with my own kids. Feels sad that I won’t want to travel like that again. Anyone else have a similar travel experience?[/quote]
