[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, you need to be really driven by what they can manage when you’re travelling with them. My mom is 83, does not drive, and has IBS. We don’t go anywhere that is a super long travel day, and we don’t stay anywhere that isn’t a resort at this point with her - eg no hotels where we have to drive or walk to the beach - because what if we’re at the beach and she needs to go back to the room suddenly? Or if she’s having an IBS flare up and wants to stay in the room - I don’t want to have to leave the hotel (if it doesn’t have a restaurant) to get a meal so I’m not far away if she needs me. For me it’s been about really following my mom’s cues, and not getting my heart set on a type of travel that simply doesn’t work for her (no AirBnBs, etc) [/quote]
