Nearly two years ago, I took my parents in their small Class C on trip to visit my moms relatives (about 1200 miles round trip) At the time, my dad was 88 and mom was 76. I researched locations to stay along the route picking several options at different spots depending on when they got tired.
Our trip plans were changed when Dad got sick and had to spend several days in the hospital. Calling 911 in Louisiana works the same as calling 911 in GA, they even came right to the door of the MH I think they let Dad out of the hospital when they did because they knew he would be in MH traveling home rather than in a chair.
Although the trip didn't turn out exactly like we planned (we ended up skipping New Orleans and Grand Isle), it was worth every bit of the stress of planning and being in close quarters with my parents who I haven't lived with in over 35 years. At least once a month, my dad talks about how much he appreciated me going and my mom talks about how glad she was to get to see some of her family before all her cousins she was once very close to are gone.
