@scout59 I appreciate the good wishes.
I had a very honest conversation with my sister yesterday. I expressed my concerns about her going to New York. I told her I’d hate for her to slip on an icy sidewalk and again be set back again mobility wise. We left it at if she decides last minute she is up to it she will book a flight and a 2nd hotel room. What also came out of the conversation was that she doesn’t want time to continue to pass where her whole life revolves around her health. I was honest about some of the things that haven’t worked in the past when we have traveled together. We agreed that NY will probably not happen for her but that we could plan a trip or two in the future. They could be on the calendar and something she could look forward to. We also decided that we should start small. Trips that if she needed to cancel last minute don’t lose us all a lot of money. Maybe trips that are driving distance.
I also discovered she isn’t interested in nature or just scenic drives. She likes museums, theatre, dining out (she is a foodie, I’m not), cooking classes, people watching, browsing interesting neighborhoods, house, architecture and garden tours. She thinks she can at times walk but stairs are difficult. She isn’t against a bit of golf if she has a cart or even a driving range. My other sister also can golf. I don’t but I’m open to trying.
She is going to go through her travel magazines and travel folders and make a list of places that interest her and that she thinks are doable. I feel good about where we stand at this point. I was feeling anxious trying to make things work for NY. Ideas on the penciled list include Palm Springs, Napa. She also mentioned Chicago.
I love all the ideas and experiences you all have shared. Much appreciated.
