Brenda:
Can you wait that long? This process is unpredictable. Alan and I went to visit family that was about 1400 klms away. We drove. Alan was great going up, even drove, a week later was almost unmanagable coming home. He didn't even know where home was. don't wait till October if you can possibly do it now.
I would tell your daughter your coming. That trans Atlantic flight is tiring and you need to be met at the airport.
Have fun Hugs Marlene
