In a month I'm going on a tour of Italy with my near 70-year old mother. It looks pretty intense. What's the best way to manage exhaustion on a long tour?
Having traveled with my parents a number of times, I can tell you that exhaustion is pretty much guaranteed. But! The best way to battle it is by not trying to do everything. Don’t try to hit every museum, don’t try to see every sight and, hard as it may be, don’t try every flavor of gelato. By slowing down and enjoying the things you do fit in, you’ll have a better trip—and come home on speaking terms, too. Have fun! —PB
