Traveling with parents can be nice and stressful at the same time. I took Mom and Dad to Disney one time. Neither one wanted to get on another plane. They sat on the tarmac, for 5 hours, and neither would get up to use the bathroom. :eek::confused:

Ha! My Dad really thought he was dying and he was going to do what he pleased. He lives on. 20 years later still kick'n. And I'm true to my word, no more Disney for him. Consequences. That same year 2 months prior to our Christmas at Disney he was in Disneyland Paris Hotel when it burnt to the ground while he was there. :eek:

I wear prescription lenses, so I have no choice but to bring my relatively expensive pair of sunglasses to Disney. I tried contacts, but even then when I wear regular sunglasses, it does something weird to my vision and I get dizzy. I almost lost them in the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon, but luckily found them. I suppose they would've washed ashore eventually, but probably not in a wearable state. :cool:

Years ago I switched over to contacts. Had them for 15 or so years and then I got old. Needing reading glasses I decided that I would switch back to glasses because if I had to carry glasses with me anyway, I might just as well have the one set. Progression lenses that darkened in the sunlight and went back to normal inside have been perfect. The only time it was a hassle at all was watching 3D stuff, but, even that wasn't that big a problem.

Recently, because I live in the south and play golf, I got tired of sweat dripping on my lenses every time I put my head down. (one thing you always hear playing golf... keep your head down) With the development of my cataracts I found the the contacts helped improve my vision substantially. Eye doctors told me that it shouldn't make any difference, but, I can see it, so I am hooked on contacts again. In August I am supposed to have cataract surgery which will, theoretically, make my vision in that eye 20/20 again so having a contact for my right eye should be helpful. (until the cataract in that eye starts to affect my vision) So now, I need to bring sunglasses, reading glasses and spare regular glasses in case I have a problem with the contact(s). So, the moral of the story is, life doesn't get easier when you get older. Less stressful, but, never free of some hassle or the other.

Yep, our last trip was in November for Thanksgiving and it was much more enjoyable, even though DD and I had colds for part of that trip. But that was when she was in pre-school. When we went to Hawaii last year for almost 3 weeks we got a talking-to from her elementary school about the hazards of keeping her out of school for so long. :grumpy:

Our students (K-12) are only allowed TEN absences a year without medical documentation. On the 11th absence the papers receive a court notice. My sister got one due to my nephew last year.
