[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that is great of her! You mom is getting old, she doesn't care if she ends up spending the amount for anything. The trip will happen. After last year, some older folks are thinking they could lose everything in a matter of minutes. It is possible that could be her last far away trip. You neve know when you are that old. 
If she doesn't do it then, who knows when she will be able to. The following year, in 2  years?? When you are a senior, you don't of anything further an a year or two.

In my opinion, you go and you bring the grandkids if she wants you to.  Many seniors like their grandkids with them. It's her way to enjoying the final years of life. Who knows how many more years they have. She may even help you pay, who knows.

I can't believe people think it's within reach of most people to shell out $6-$8k for a trip. That is a lot of money. We are by no means poor, but my answer to this would have to be no based on our family priorities.[/quote]
