If the thought of vacationing with your parents makes you cringe, fear no more! Help is here!
Planes, Canes, and Automobiles: Connecting with Your Aging Parents through Travel is a gold mine of practical advice, funny anecdotes, and tales of triumphs and travails from Val Grubb, who has traveled more than 300,000 miles (and counting!) with her 84-year-old mother in the past twenty years.
When planning a recent trip overseas, however, Grubb realized that her mom's physical and mental capabilities had suddenly changed. Her mom now needed a wheelchair, for example, and was afraid to travel alone (even on short flights to meet her daughter for a long trip together). Grubb set out to find suggestions for handling these changes and after much research was struck by the lack of comprehensive information that shed light on the nuances of globetrotting with aging parents.
Planes, Canes, and Automobiles is the go-to guide for adult children: it combines her wisdom from years of traveling with her own aging mother with sensible tips, checklists, and sample itineraries to help readers plan and enjoy a vacation with their parents!

Review Grubb has written a guide specifically for adult children who are planning on, or have always wanted to, travel with their aging parents. This is a book full of warmth and love...[and a] wealth of information, tips, and practical suggestions based on personal experience on how to plan, survive, and enjoy taking trips with one's parents as they age. The valuable appendixes, with sample packing lists, itineraries, and resources, are reason enough to explore this book, and Grubbs's honest discussions of the ups and downs of traveling with her mom gives the narrative a human touch. VERDICT: A solid choice for anyone looking for ways to involve their parents in their journeys. ---LibraryJournal''...a delightful guide full of important information for those of us who want to enjoy the companionship of our best travel partners, our parents.'' --Samantha Brown, Television Travel Host & AARP Travel Ambassador
''Planes, Canes, and Automobiles is frank, funny, and truly one of a kind.'' --Paula Froelich, Editor in Chief, Yahoo! Travel
''I know first-hand the joy that can be found in traveling with your parent. I traveled with my own mother all the way through her 80's and we created priceless memories that I will hold with me forever. Planes, Canes and Automobiles would have been a great resource for me during my travels.... Valerie Grubb shares what she has learned about how to make your travels with your loved one as smooth as possible.'' -- Joan Lunden, award-winning journalist, best-selling author, caregivers advocate and spokeswoman for A Place for Mom
''...Valerie's love and respect for her mother and Dorothy's for her shine through every page of this delightful, eminently useful book. A must-read for anyone planning a multigenerational vacation or a trip with older parents.'' --Nancy Parode, Senior and Baby Boomer Travel Expert and writer for About.com
''My trip to Normandy, France last year with my 85-year-old father and 91-year-old uncle was a deeply emotional journey, made immensely more satisfying because we followed Grubb's insightful advice from day one.'' --Deb Wood, Collections Manager, Stranahan House Museum and Avid Traveler
''As a wheelchair user for over seven years, my family and I have personally used many of Valerie's recommendations in our travels. More importantly, I have shared her insight with new wheelchair users as educational material for Able Challenger. When it comes to travel for those with mobility restrictions, Planes, Canes, and Automobiles is the best resource available.'' -- --John Berkey, management consultant and co-founder of Able Challenger
About the Author Valerie Grubb's father was a pilot, so she was born with travel in her blood. She began traveling solo at the tender age of four (when she wandered out of eyesight of her house one day), and since then she has continued to make exploring the world a priority while pursuing careers in both operations management and executive coaching. Val and her mom, Dorothy, took their first overseas vacation together when Dorothy was sixty-four, and in the more than twenty years since then, they have logged over 300,000 miles (and counting!). In response to the lack of available resources on the subject of seniors traveling with their adult children, Val began publishing Travel with Aging Parents (travelwithagingparents.com) in 2013, a blog that chronicles the triumphs (and challenges) of intergenerational travel with Val's signature ''you-can-do-this'' flair.

There is nothing else like it out there, and yet it's such an important niche in the travel book market. I was able to get an advance copy, which I read right before taking a road trip with my parents, including my 90 year old father. I found this book to be invaluable for my trip. It helped with practical tips on packing, using wheelchairs, handling medicine and dealing with other stressors that can pop up. And the bonus is that the author is funny, and really...isn't a reminder to maintain your sense of humor the best tip of all?! Thank you Valerie Grubb for writing this great book.PS - The book ends with checklists, additional resources and actual itineraries of trips you can take with your aging parents. Extremely user friendly!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not just a "how to" book but rather one filled with personal memories and travels with a parent By Brice What a delightful read for anyone looking to travel with aging adults. Even though I am not able to travel with my own parents, I learned some very useful tips that will help me when traveling with my aunt and uncle and even my husband (who doesn’t travel much).The author’s great sense of humor when describing her travels with her mother made the book more of a story than a how to. She will have no regrets about wishing she would have taken more time with her mom. She has taken the time to make every traveling event special and in doing so has created some very happy memories that will be with her forever.I would highly recommend this book to others who are considering traveling with an aging adult.
