[quote=Anonymous]This is my mom exactly - she's 87 and barely gets off the couch. I usually plan vacations to accommodate all of us, but she surprised you this time, so -- - Could you rent a wheel chair? I have started doing this and it seems a pretty good compromise. Mom always protests (it makes her feel old!) but in the end, she gets outside and the kids get some activity as well. Even if you are going to some other destination, you might investigate renting a wheel chair locally and they may deliver it to you or you could pick it up in a taxi. I always get the "transport" chair -- it is fairly light weight and folds up easily. It has small wheels (i know my mom won't be pushing herself along) Good luck - I feel your pain.[/quote]
