In the summer of 2024, a woman reflects on a trip to Montreal with her family, particularly focusing on the experience of traveling with her elderly grandma. She realized that the itinerary, crafted under her solo traveling mindset, did not account for her grandma's slower pace and physical limitations. Key oversights included a lack of downtime and the challenge of navigating cobblestone streets. While the trip was enjoyable, the author learned valuable lessons about accommodating older family members during travel to enhance their experience.
It would have been nice to have more downtime in our schedule, too. I underestimated how exhausting the itinerary would be for my grandma.
I approached the task of planning the trip the same way I do for solo travel: leaving no stone unturned, but I overlooked my grandma's needs.
