[quote=Anonymous]We just came back from a Caribbean vacation with my mid-70s FIL and MIL. What worked for us was similar to what a pp said about 10am and spicy food. That was the case for them as well so we made sure to get on the same page with expectations. We have an early rising 7yo so we'd wake, go to breakfast, return, and go to the local beach while waiting for them to meet up with us. We'd then do whatever activities we had planned, have dinner and again split up until the next morning. If everyone has reasonable expectations and boundaries this setup can really work. We had a great experience and were planning next year's trip before we left. I realize not everyone has it so lucky, but if you have easy going elderly parents/in-laws it really can work well for everyone. [/quote]
