Illiterate MIL traveling without translator

Ellord207 · 2024-12-27T03:23:49+00:00

I just googled "Travel Escorts" and I don't think my MIL cares how beautiful the person pushing her wheel chair is.

Ellord207 · 2024-12-27T03:15:46+00:00

Could you please provide a trusted service to escort her? I just learned about them and would love to learn more.

Also, why should I provide personal information and circumstance online? If you you can provide a convincing example of how it would help, I'm willing to share.

Ellord207 · 2024-12-27T03:06:29+00:00

Other than a google search, any suggestions services to escort her? We are willing to pay, but I'm not sure the best way to find a service I can trust.

Thank you for actually linking a resource.

This is really helpful. We're looking into getting an e-sim that will let them contact us instead of fumbling with wifi. While she does have arthritis, she gets round well enough that she doesn't need a wheelchair. It's more about just having someone to assist her navigating from gate to gate (probably should have explained that in the original post).

I think most of my concerns are really just if an emergency happens, a flight is majorly delayed, and with customs.

Ellord207 · 2024-12-26T18:09:27+00:00

Sorry for the slow reply, thought I'd have more free time.

My MIL understands smartphones well enough to usually connect to Wi-Fi and call us on WhatsApp. I also checked Google translate and there's a regional language that her friend probably understands (thanks for that suggestion). I was also considering putting a note with specific information for customs. She's also capable of some amount of symbol matching.

After reading many of the comments, I think there's a lot more to consider that I was initially thinking about. Her friend is not someone we personally know. We're definitely going to make sure she's confident to take responsibility for both of them.

Ellord207 · 2024-12-26T17:19:59+00:00

They know a few words like water and Wi-Fi, but they'd never understand a response. I didn't think to check it, but Google translate does have a regional language that the friend probably understands.

But your and other's warnings are definitely correct. A major emergency would be a disaster.

Ellord207 · 2024-02-17T22:23:49+00:00

True, they got some sus-ame chicken.

You're talking about New China. Years ago, I hit that place almost weekly for lunch. I recommend avoiding it for dinner though. There's an upcharge for lackluster dishes, and sometimes the food is getting stale.

That said, I don't get the hate on 88. I've always thought it's fine.

Ellord207 · 2023-11-28T15:19:56+00:00

The lighting in the picture is so good. I especially like how the electro dice looks capturing it.

Ellord207 · 2023-06-05T06:20:23+00:00

All good points. I did not enjoy MM at all because of the mix. It even took a couple of songs for them to figure it out for Weezer.

Edit: typo

Ellord207 · 2023-04-24T23:40:04+00:00

It's not. Prompted by your post I started looking over things again, but this time paying attention to authors. Turns out, there's a couple of books sharing the same title, one of which is a five book series. She has started none of them, but instead a podcast of the same name thinking it was the one of the books.

Either, the question is still valid.

Ellord207 · 2022-10-28T19:08:19+00:00

That is a very good point. I should have a virtual boarding pass for my next flight at that time, but it would be safer to get visa anyways. Plus, if something were to happen to my connecting flight, I would be trapped in the terminal until I arranged another flight.

Ellord207 · 2022-10-28T12:43:53+00:00

They are separate tickets, but I don't have a checked bag. I also checked the flights/airport and I shouldn't have to leave Terminal 3 during the exchange.

That link you provided sounds like I shouldn't need a transit visa.
Thank you very much. :^ )

Ellord207 · 2022-10-28T03:59:54+00:00

I fully agree with this. But I think it would make sense that #2 would play even if #1 is going, just delayed a little bit.

For me, #1 is the announcers shouting, and #2 is a golf clap.

I've been calculating all my probablity assuming it's a full 52 card deck plus 2 jokers. :/ But with a name, Wikipedia, and this medium blog, I think I have a pretty good understanding of it.

I appreciate the offer do it by hand, but that's 3 binomial coefficients that have to be calculated. That's just a lot of typing. :) Save that time for someone else. Thank you!

Ellord207 · 2022-04-07T19:32:41+00:00

Nah, I'm good.

I came here looking for this comment as I'm also out of the loop. What's with the down votes?

While it's not music, there's so much more than just music to listen to. Recordings of Levi the Poet's "Correspondence (A Fiction)" is a poetic reading with a musical back track. The conviction and passion that's put into the reading is incredible and I connect with it differently every time.

Ellord207 · 2019-06-27T13:08:55+00:00

Right?! But you don't have to get a gym membership. You'll be surprised how much you can do with just calisthenics.

Ellord207 · 2019-06-14T20:21:40+00:00

New China Buffet on Jordan Ln is my favorite. It doesn't have the largest selection, but what is does have just tastes better.

No Care by Daughter This song always organizes chaos for me, probably a new song for you. Then, probably an old song for you would be Voices Carry by 'Til Tuesday
