8. If you do not wish to make several stops, you can bring snacks. If you pack juices or other drinks, you might wish to consider tumblers or the pre-packaged juices that include a straw.
Other Transportation
1. Other forms of transportation can be quite noisy. If your loved one is frightened of such noises, you can bring a portable CD player or a Walkman. Playing your loved one's favorite, calming music might help drown out the loud noises of planes, trains, or buses.
2. If your loved one is on a specific diet, you can call ahead and find out what the plane or train will be serving. Most companies will allow you to request meals. Or, you can bring some extras for your loved one.
3. Ask your loved one where he/she would like to sit. When making reservations, make sure you and your loved one are together.
4. If your loved one is in middle/late stage Alzheimer's, you may want to consider requesting seats where it will only be your loved one and you/family. This is a judgment call.
5. If your loved one experiences motion sickness, speak to your loved one's physician about medications that may help your loved one.
