Travelling and going on holiday - any advice?

[HarrietD]

Do you have any tips for other people with dementia about travelling and going on holiday?

Has there been something that's helped you plan what you'll be doing?

Something that's made the actual journey a better experience, or something that's helped make sure you can do things you enjoy while you're there?

Or perhaps something that’s helped you to settle back into things after you’ve returned home?

We’d love to share your advice with readers of our magazine, Dementia together - please email magazine@alzheimers.org.uk before 3 May.

Thanks everyone

Hi Harriet. Forward planning!
I'm off on a week's holiday in Wales next moth. I'll be driving myself (I am still driving 5 years after diagnosis).
I have done some serious study about what to expect on the route, the accommodation and the itinerary and now I'm confident that I can relax and enjoy the adventure.

Brilliant advice, thanks @PeteMid - it sounds like forward planning has been important for you. I'm glad you feel confident that you can relax and enjoy the adventure after preparing for it Hope you have a lovely week in Wales!
