Think & Plan<br />
When you are preparing a trip with a <strong>senior</strong> person, it is<br />
important to plan the trip really well. Thoughtful planning will<br />
help you to enjoy your trip fully without any problem. If your<br />

direct flights to your destination <strong>for</strong> safety purpose. If you are<br />
planning to travel by car, then you should plan your route and<br />
stopovers carefully and well in advance.

paper<br />
No one really wants any interruption in their trip, but when you<br />
are <strong>traveling</strong> with a <strong>senior</strong> companion it is wise to be prepared<br />
<strong>for</strong> any emergency situation you may face.The best practice is<br />
to carry the medical reports and other medical paper copies<br />
with you as in any case of an emergency those copies will<br />
come handy.
Emergency Contact Cards &<br />
Numbers<br />
Make sure to put your contact card or their mobile phone with all<br />
the numbers saved in your elder companion's pocket/wallet. In<br />
case you get separated from your <strong>senior</strong> family member, the<br />
measures written above will come handy. Even a disposable<br />
phone bought just <strong>for</strong> the outing will come handy.
