If you have a reclining chair or one that the back can be layed down\back make sure you take any pins that have to be removed out and keep them with you, small things tend to get lost when you least want them to.

And to make it even more exciting, I'm going to Cabo San Lucas. I know!!! Pretty brave huh? Well not really because I live in Mexico and I'm used to the inaccessibility. Of course I already know my way around here where I live. Cabo is pretty much new to me, even though I've been there before but not in a power wheelchair. I have my concerns but I think I'll be able to manage. What I am wondering right now is about the flying situation. I know they have those special isle wheelchairs and that the staff at the airport help you transfer and all that. But what about my power chair? I know they put it with the luggage, but do they need to disassemble it? I sent a message to the airline but I know they take a while to reply and I'm a bit anxious. Any other traveling tips would be very much appreciated. Lissette Whitehead www.lwgripgloves.com ________________________________
