[quote=Anonymous]So sorry it was a hard trip. We found with my in-laws - we had to pick one location, one hotel, and only 1 activity a day. They needed to know when and where all the meals were ahead of time (they are not spontaneous.) We discovered that it was better to plan prior to the trip - what the trip was going to entail - and include transfers from airports to hotels, walking distances or driving etc. We have also found that if we can find an apartment or house they were more comfortable in a place they could have their own food, drinks etc. We also had to factor in more rest time for them and time away from the young and loud kids. Ultimately the trip had to cater to their needs and schedule not ours. What worked the best so far was a 10 day trip, 2 days for recovery if there is jet lag, a rental house, access to a car (they don't do well on public transportation), bus tours of cities with limited walking, meals on a schedule.
