What should I pay attention to when traveling with my parents?

Although the holiday of life passes quickly now, everyone of us should be filial, especially those who don't contact their parents all the year round, and must find time to travel with them. Parents are old, so it is inconvenient to travel. As a young man, you need to do some help. Here are some things to pay attention to when traveling with your parents.

Everything is as smooth as expected.

Since it is not a wayward trip, since it is a family trip, we should take care of each other and accommodate each other.

Ominously explain the strategy of taking parents to travel, just talk about the feeling of walking with parents and what I think is worth paying attention to. According to my previous travel experience and the actual situation of taking my parents to travel this time, I summarized the following 12 details.

1, 10 After retirement, golden decade is full of energy and physical strength, and can travel around at will. Don't live up to this decade. If there is an opportunity, I really want to accompany my parents to see the world. Traveling alone or with friends and lovers is really a completely different experience.

2. The trip must be easy. Especially when the time difference is large, don't arrange too many activities in the first two days. You can walk around and see the scenery, even if it's just community facilities, community parks and tree-lined paths. After adjusting the time difference, the trip should be as easy as possible. Don't go back to the hotel too late every day. It's best to have dinner at 6 o'clock and then go back to rest.

Parents and family should take special care of China's stomach. Try the local food. Don't choose local food for every meal. Although food is an important part of travel, parents are old, and too much meat, greasy and cold diet can easily cause discomfort. After all, traveling abroad is very important for your health, so don't take risks. Usually, there are restaurants in China at the destination, so there is no problem to eat Chinese food. Although it may not be as good as the domestic taste, it is a familiar taste and suitable for our China stomach.

4, hot water, this is very important. At present, most European and American hotels have coffee machines, which can meet our requirements for drinking hot water, but it is best to confirm them in advance. In order to avoid not drinking hot water, you can bring your own water heater. Then you need to bring a thermos. Everyone should bring it, even if you don't drink hot water yourself. When you go out for a day, there is generally no place for hot water. Even if you don't drink hot water, you should bring an extra bottle to your parents.

In order to avoid getting angry, I usually bring chrysanthemums. This is my personal experience. No matter where you travel, you should bring enough chrysanthemums. It is particularly easy to get angry when going out. Even if you travel in China, you will get a little angry due to various influences such as itinerary, soil and water, diet, etc. Chrysanthemum can be slightly relieved. If you have the habit of drinking tea at ordinary times, bring tea with you, and you will be much more comfortable on the trip.

6, medicine! This is too important, especially important! ! ! Not just those cold medicines, gastrointestinal medicines, band-AIDS, etc. Needless to say, people who often go out must have their own medicine list. Most importantly, what I want to say is that many people of their parents' age have used drugs for a long time, such as hypertension drugs and diabetes drugs. This must be ready! What needs to be emphasized is, don't just take the medicine according to the number of days, it must be more than the number of days of travel! And it should be open separately, and it is best to take one each. This is to avoid the situation that there is no medicine to eat after losing it. There are also first-aid drugs such as quick-acting jiuxin pills that must be carried with you. No one wants accidents, but we must nip in the bud. These medicines are prepared according to the specific situation of family members. Everyone's situation is different. You can prepare them as needed.

7. disposable slippers. This is for a long flight. At present, there are only disposable socks in long-haul economy class, so bringing a pair of disposable slippers can effectively alleviate the discomfort caused by sitting for a long time.

8. English If you are the one with relatively good English at home, you need to be ready for translation at all times. Even if your English is not very good, you are still the main force of foreign exchange. At this time, don't worry about pronunciation, don't dare to speak, as long as the other party can understand. In fact, the English level of China people has improved a lot now, and I believe most of the younger generation can cope with daily conversations. Of course, if you can download a translation APP, it is best and most convenient to look it up at any time.

9. You must take care of your parents' rhythm when visiting scenic spots and shopping. This is very different from our usual trip. Parents' concerns are different from ours. Don't just look at what you like, especially when you have different concerns, it's easy to get separated. If your parents don't know the language, you should pay more attention, because in case they get separated, their language is very, very worrying. In fact, I think it is necessary to download a translation APP for parents if there is nothing wrong with their smartphones (please note that offline dictionaries must be downloaded).

10, don't go to some high-rise, narrow, crowded and dangerous places. My experience is that even if you agree to go up and have a look by yourself, come down for a while and let them wait beside you, and they will come to you in two minutes. No matter how old you are this year, you will always be a child in the eyes of your parents, and they will not rest assured. Therefore, if you don't look at places where your parents don't go, you won't look. There's really nothing to see. Besides, you still have plenty of opportunities to see it in the future, and you really want to see it in the future.

1 1, sun protection. Others don't know, anyway, my parents will not take the initiative to wear sunscreen. So, every day after I apply sunscreen myself, I hand it to them. Not only the face, but also the neck and arms exposed to the sun should be painted. At first, they resisted, saying that they were not afraid of the sun, but if you insisted, they would apply it. If you get used to it, they would apply it every day. There is nothing wrong with tanning, but tanning is not good.

12. When you come home from a trip, don't think that everything will be fine when you get home. If you live apart from your parents, you must remember to call several times in the first two days after you go home. Because of the excitement all the way, there may be no uncomfortable reaction during the journey, but when you get home, you need to pay attention to whether there is any discomfort. Therefore, it is more important to say hello every day and take time to go back and see more.

It's a shame to say that this is the first time for our family of three to travel together.

It's not that I haven't traveled with my family, some with my father and some with my mother. It's true that three people didn't start together.

Before leaving, my parents mentioned that this was our first trip together, and my heart was really sour.

My parents go out to play every year after retirement, but I travel with them separately.

I am a person who likes to travel, but I used to go alone and only go where I want to go. Walking away is my way of traveling.

I like to go to underdeveloped places, learn about different lifestyles, feel their happiness, experience their hardships, see different scenery and enjoy different customs.

We live in a big city, so big cities don't attract me much.

Before each departure, there is a period of time to release and change the unchanging life.

Every time I come back from a trip, I love the city where I live more and everything around me more.

When my parents were young, because of their work, they went to many places, many of which were still rarely visited, and they were travel destinations, which could be regarded as a well-informed generation.

Therefore, every year, we will choose the place we yearn for to travel. Even if we travel separately, we will support each other and trust each other.

My parents have retired for almost ten years. After retirement, they have no worrying retirement syndrome. Full retirement makes life full, and every day is busier than at work. Meet old colleagues and friends, they accompany each other and take care of each other.

But with the growth of parents' age, some physical problems will appear more or less. Care for them has increased, and their dependence on children has gradually increased.

This trip to Canada has actually been brewing for several years. At first, I was a little xenophobic. Many people have many opinions, and it is not easy to unify them. Regular tourist routes are nothing new, not my favorite way.

But in the end, because of that sentence, no family of three traveled together and chose to travel together.

The whole family is preparing for the trip.

Dad happened to have an uncomfortable foot before he left. In order not to affect his trip, he actively treated and finally got relief before leaving.

Mother actively prepares the materials for the whole family to apply for a visa.

I am responsible for contacting my relatives in Canada to confirm the details.

We got a visa, bought a plane ticket, packed our luggage, made active preparations, and happily started a family mobilization.

Confucius said, "If you don't travel far, you will travel easily." Then why not travel around the world with your parents during the struggle?

Although it is the first time to travel with my parents, the above details are considered to be effective in practice and really bring convenience to the journey.

The first trip was pleasant and beautiful. When we got home, we were already looking forward to our next trip.

After living apart, I spend less and less time with my parents, but care must be indispensable. Especially as parents get older, we have a greater responsibility to take care of them.

Living in the same city, I have to go home every week, but just going home is really not enough.

Take a few days off every year to travel with your parents. You are not the only one who dreams of seeing the world.

Wandering song: "The thread in the hand of a kind mother makes clothes for her wayward son's body." It's time for us to prepare our bags for our parents and take care of them.
