Our friends who travel with us in their FW don't have the same situation, even though they were both Army. She just doesn't have the aptitude for big rig driving, and he's not gonna let her "mess it up." So we just make a point of not traveling more than 350 miles per day. We're all in our 60s, and that's a perfectly fine distance for us all. In an emergency, there are 3 out of 4 who can drive the rigs.
Aunt Edith is just a product of her time. Don't let her bother you and keep on truckin'...:W
