- this line stayed with me all day and my heart breaks for you.

Yeah I think that's why everyone is saying that she needs to go. She sounds depressed. 60 is just entering the last 1/3 of her life, there's still so many more great years to go. If my mom told me that, I would want her to seek counseling. [/quote]

Good lord, she just wants a stress-free life in her comfort zone as she continues to age. No way should she have to make a trip that frightens her or causes great discomfort. If DD has a modicum of sensitivity, she will get over it![/quote]

Actually, she sounds like my grandmother did at that age - not a happy woman.  She was widowed a bit before sixty and "coasted" for nearly 40 more years never really engaging deeply in anything or anyone.  What a waste.  I really don't have an opinion one way or another on whether the trip is the right choice, but "gently coasting" sounds like despair.
