With my 80 yo mother. We went from NY to South Dakota to see the great grand kids.

It was actually a fun trip. Mom also had no fear about going off pavement. The buffalo and buros on the other hand she was not happy with.

My father was a professional driver. He trained Mom that "we dont stop till we get there" and bathroom breaks are when the car needs gas. This was before they invented the big gulp.

Mom was fine throughout the entire trip. At the 9th day She started to get on my nerves, and thats when we got home.

She didnt find the seats comfortable in Blu, but mom is only 5'1" and not used to long car rides.


Was still cheaper then the two of us flying, and she wouldnt fly anyway.
 
Hehehe... Mum's sick of me working on my subi - my partner is the same but even more so! It has been a lot better since having the EJ sorted but there's still so much to do as well!

I don't think I could drive around with my mum for 9 days, that's a top effort Nipper!

Cheers

Thats needles highway in the Black Hills. You should see it when a (ick) tour bus tries to go through it. Thats why i like going in Oct, no tour buses.
