[quote=Anonymous]Just because your parents are in good health and active for their age, doesn't mean that a 7 hour drive isn't prohibitive for them. Eyesight fails, joints stiffen, reaction time slows, bladders shrink--all of which can turn a 7 hour trip into easily a stressful 8-9 hour one. These are very real issues that they might not be comfortable bringing up with you. They might also be uncomfortable staying away from home, or might be under the impression that you prefer "coming home", just as you did when you were in college. The dynamics might change once there's a baby, and thus more incentive to travel. [/quote]
