Taking my in-laws to a national park. Tips n tricks ?
I’ll do my best to put my scatter brain ideas into this post.
My in-laws don’t get a chance to travel much and even now into retirement they only travel to the same beach a few times a year.
Same goes for my father, although he has gotten out more than my in-laws
They are all very active, but not in shape to do any day hikes.
Plan is to give them a Xmas gift of flight / rental car to LAX and likely go to Yosemite and we will join. The can book a room In The hotel we stay at or grab an air bnb / rental ect.
We will drive and cover gas. Plan easy hikes to harder depending how they feel.
I’ve been to Yosemite a few times and I think this would be the best bet to see the west coach beach, redwoods, Mountain View’s.
We aren’t rich but we can budget and save for this .
The idea is to give them a new experience rather than useless gifts from Amazon.
We generally hit the store when we land and get food to keep in the car cooler to make and such.
We also will give them a choice to go to any other park or take the flight credit and go where ever they want.
Any tips on traveling with elders ? I don’t know if they have ever flown before.
Meal ideas ?
Must haves?
What else am I missing?
I’m worried this will be viewed from the wrong place, like a flex or a something?
We really just want to give our partners who gave up so much of life for us to experience new things
