[quote=Anonymous]We are a military family frequently posted overseas and even domestically often far from family. It is currently a 36 hour trip to visit us from the east coast of the U.S.

My parents have come here once.  These are brutal travel experiences and I don’t think anyone should plan very far ahead as to what they will or won’t be able to do travel-wise.

But to save the relationship you should go once, but not when they first arrive.  It takes a good 6 months to work out logistics in new countries and find the places you will show people.

So I would put her off and say that you do want to see her new life and very loosely plan to visit their second year there about 6 weeks post their return.

It also helps for you to have some basic knowledge of the place in case there are health complications or other things you need to assist with in the future.  It is so much easier if you know the neighbors and the local doctor/ hospital.

It sounds like you are both stuck imagining your dream retirement experiences without a thought of reality.[/quote]
