[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone for the responses!

GGM has good days and not so good days, but for the most part is still pretty much independent and lives alone in her apartment that she's had since my father was a child. We have already decided not to stay with her so that we don't make it hard for her since having family over for a few hours at a time is way easier than housing them. Hence the plan to rent an apartment or something like that. We will most likely come every day or every other day for a few hours and a meal and then spend the rest of the time on our own in the city. Because we will have so much "free time" my mother is taking this as an opportunity to see just about everyone else.

I am considering the one-time here-is-DD-come-see-her event, and that way I have given opportunity and maybe everyone will be happy. I am even open to doing this at some great aunt's house somewhere. Transportation is going to be super fun since this would mean I now have to bring a car seat, wheras before we would have travelled by public transport from the airport to a very walkable city, an easy thing to do and I've done several times so I know what to expect. GGM lives 20 minutes walk from the touristy areas, if you walk slowly. I might buy a cheaper car seat and then just leave it behind when we come home.

I know about the travel papers for travelling without DH, so we are covered there. Hopefully he can come but if not, no problem.

The latest news is that somehow, my parents still own the apartment they had before we all emigrated. The current tenant has said he will be moving out so now my mother says we should just stay at this apartment... that I have never seen (other than when I was an infant) and I have no idea if it has any furniture or anything else. I'm putting my foot down on the hotel/apartment rental idea. It seems that just when thigns are starting to look calm again, here comes a new brilliant idea.
