Encouraging Parents to Travel
My parents are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, and my mom mentioned that she would like to look into Germany. I am going crazy (in a good way) researching this for them because this is my hood, and so far I've found them cheap flights to both Munich and Berlin from where they live and a cheaper flight from Munich to Berlin or vice versa so they can avoid the Deutsche Bahn on a long trip.
I'm trying to sell this to them as hard as I can because they really deserve to get out there, and this would be perfect for them (Lederhosen and Oktoberfest for my dad and WWII history and castles for my mom). Does anyone have suggestions for encouraging older, but less adventurous people to travel? They're not "old old" and have high activity levels, but they get nauseated when they think of how and where I travel, and have really only been away internationally together twice (Mexico for a honeymoon, London/Paris for a 20th).
