I'm a C3 incomplete and used to drive my 60 Cadillac from Detroit to Champaign for the weekend for their parties. It's a wonder how brave and enabling 'love' can be in one's youth. I slept on a couch and wasn't gone long enough to worry about a shower although I'm sure someone would have helped had I asked.. Just get brave and strike out - college kids are more than ready to 'help' a brother (or sister) out. Actually, as a sister, you wouldn't even have to ask twice!!! :) AZDAVE “Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines.

I wanted to go to the beach but didn't because: 1. I don't have transportation (there is a bus system) 2. and mainly because in order to take a shower I need my shower chair. For those of you who use one you know that's is not something an individual can pack up & take with you. When you travel or vacation how do you do it? I want/need to go to the beach. Do hotels have shower chairs available? Is it possible to rent vans? ( I have my licence to drive a van with hand controls) It will be 4 years since my accident and I have not been anywhere except Mom's, the Sleep Inn over Christmas break (that was a nightmare), and in a dorm room. Please tell me how you guys go on vacation, where, how do you do it? If I am ever going to go it will be by myself. Have any of you pulled this off? I really need and would appreciate your input, I am tired of "feeling" alone and want to change. Thanks
