Every 2 years my Else (85 now) visits her family in Germany. Every year she says it is her last time. We spend 3 weeks in a spa so that she can get her treatments for arthritis and I just enjoy all the pampering.
This year her cousin is having a 50th wedding anniversary which is why we are going in August rather than in the spring which we had done previously.
Her family would love her to stay longer and she used to but it is too difficult for her to fly alone and being shipped from pillar to post to visit/stay with everyone is too much for her. So I (her bodyguard) go with her. She'll have her treatments in the AM and then visit with relatives in the afternoons and on weekends. Sometimes her cousin will take her for the weekend to Munich (they live just outside of Munich) and I take bus trips to see other parts of Germany/Austria.
We've adopted each other as she had not children and my parental units have been gone a long time - mutually beneficial relationship.
We'll be staying in Bad Tolz again this year. It is a beautiful little town filled with Spas and Kur Klinics and is about 1 hour from Munich.
We leave one week from today - Aug. 21.
Woohoo
