Dave this is really cool! I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't worry, have fun! You'll have your family with you. I think I'd rather travel by van than air. Thank you for your kind words and right back atcha. Have fun! And if your not too tired, go south alittle after Michigan. I'd love to meet you & yours!

My son said about Marine boot camp, "it wasn't all THAT bad, but I wouldn't want to do it again." My best friend dug me out about a year post, and carried me UP to a party on the 2nd floor and then back DOWN again afterwards. I grew up with him and then he moved from Michigan to Arizona a few years after I did. I can't hardly describe how much 'easier' this whole thing has been with the help of a wild best friend from childhood. This list has been about my second best friend as you all have taught me a bunch of humility AND appreciation for just how easy I have had it. I am a fairly high functioning incomplete c3 who traveled by way of manual chair and brute force (everything being relative of course) and an attitude of 'git outta my way' since 1967, and find it very frustrating to see how things are getting more difficult as time passes. I have been pretty independent and the slide is pretty depressing. I'm going to try a cross country trip by van this summer with my wife and son, and I have low confidence of it being a complete success. Showers, BP programs, accessibility - all these things just seem overwhelming now. I imagine I'll make it back here safely, but the anticipation is making for many sleepless nights. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you real quads and I hope to share some funny stories and pictures of my trip. I'm on Facebook and will be attempting communications with my laptop from remote connections. You guys and gals are the BEST. AZDAVE (My trip is 9-19 to 10-7. This just seemed like a poignant day to communicate.)
