Wow...

Wow, what a great vacation. Everybody made everything easy and comfortable. Before we left San Jose the Pilot came up and introduced himself, told me what the flight would be like and told me what the weather was like once we got to Georgia. The flight attendants told me that the pilot told them it was my first flight since my injury and to make sure I was very comfortable, I wish I would have done this a lot sooner because it was a really good experience.

I called Wheelchair Getaways in Georgia, I have used them several times here and they are always very accommodating,  and they not only got me the van that I wanted but they also gave me the name and number of a care giving agency and a place to rent equipment. My mom did not have to help at all, all of the ladies that they sent were very experienced and very professional.

It was so great to see my sister-in-law and spend some quality time with everybody. The baby shower was a lot of fun and I even won a candle for guessing with a piece of crape paper exactly how big around Aubrey was. Of course the visit seemed way too short but I cannot wait to go back.

My brother took me to a new community called Peachtree City. There was about 500 golf cart trails that I could drive around with my chair. The community was really close to shopping and pretty much anything you could want. It was such a relief from San Jose because everybody was so friendly and eager to make me comfortable in any way that they could.

The only uncomfortable thing about the flight to or from was landing in San Jose. They didn't taxi up to the ramp so everybody else went down some stairs and I had to go down this elevator type thing, I sure was happy when I finally got to the ground.

I feel alot more comfortable about going on an airplane and about going on vacation and I plan to do it a lot more. I would like to go to Florida to see Disney World and also to Washington DC with my family.
