Generally parents stay with their children in U.S.A. for longer duration.I have seen majority of them stay complete 6 months which is the present allowable period granted by U.S.Immigration.Hence one should plan well in advance for few activities to keep them busy.
I suggest following:-
1] If possible carry with you your own laptop or ensure to get a separate one arranged by your son/daughter for your exclusive use.This implies that one should have basic computer knowledge.You can communicate with your contacts by E mail,send photos and surf Internet for any information.
2] If possible carry with you a digital camera. During your site seeing photos taken can be uploaded and sent by e mail to your friends/relatives.
3] Women can do knitting work.Here you can get good quality wool/knitting yarns.
4] Get books on Cooking,Yoga,Religion,Philosophy,Music etc.This is good opportunity to devote maximum time on your hobby which normally may not be available back home.
5] Get board games like Chess,Draughts,Back gammon,Playing Cards etc.These games can be played with your grand children during their vacation,week ends and holidays.This way you can have a better bond with new generation.
6] For more healthy parents walking,jogging and cycling are good options to pass time as well as to be in good shape.
7] Visit nearby Park/ garden to form a group of parents who are staying in U.S.A. In similar conditions.
8] Do visit and participate in occasional community gatherings.
9] In case you have come to help your daughter/daughter-in-law for her delivery then you will be totally busy.
