Hello Alison,
Most trips are hard work and very tiring. We, the fit and healthy are cream crackered by the end of most trips 😛 My Mum was 79 when I took her to Toronto for her brother's 60 th wedding anniversary, She is deaf, relies on her hearing aid and lip reading, airports are not the easiest of places. When her great neices got married 3 years later, she wanted to go but understood the risks so relied on our photos.
Not sure of the truth, hearsay on one trip, the tour manager recounted the story of a colleague who had to get one traveller up everyday, wash and dress them as the carer was on holiday!
