Okay, you all are making me feel braver about traveling. Also, I have a great
husband to help me. Marieke, you surprised me when you said you wear a
brace. How did that come about and how does it help you? Janice

I have travelled by plane alone and with my boyfriend (now ex). Last time I
went alone was from Montreal QC, Canada to Seattle, WA. Took 2 planes there and
2 back. (Mtl to Toronto to Seattle there, Seattle to Vancouver BC to Mtl back).
The long rides were 6 hrs, the short was 1.5 hrs (Mtl-TO) and 30 min (SeaTac to
Van).
I travel with my wheelchair and bring my cane and wear my long leg brace. When
I travel alone I usually get bumped to FIRST Class for FREE! I ask for seats
close to the bathroom (and often they figure since I am alone I will need more
help as I am in a chair, and they have more time to help when in 1st class).
The first time I travelled alone I was nervous about going through security,
the only time they ever gave me problems was going from Mtl to TO to Seattle.
The Mtl security (US side) was ok really, but one lady there wanted me to take
off my brace... um, I need to take off my shoes/pants.. I just looked at them
and said, it's a brace that surrounds my leg, no hollow parts, I can't hide
anything there. I was pissed, not b/c that they wanted to check it, that's
fine, but it was her attitude that really got to me. She was rude and talked
like I was mentally challenged. Um , hello, I may be in a wheelchair, but I
am perfectly capable of making conversation! Grrr...
Don't let the difficulties of travelling stop you! It sounds harder than it is,
and I was plenty worried, but it turned out just fine and I had a great flight!
(the attendents were so very nice and helpful and it doesn't hurt that I look
under 18 sometimes!).

Heather I have found that sometimes you just have to do what you have to do!!
I flew alone to be with my mom when she was in her late 80's and I was so glad
that I did. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I too use a walker and sometimes
a cane! Long trips are awful but my son is getting married in Lima, Peru in
November and I am definitely going to be there! I have hand controls on my car
because I do not have any real control over my legs. All rental cars have
handicapped equipped cars. And they are not allowed to charge extra for the
device. There are different types but it's so easy, you catch on very quickly.
Tho it sounds like you have lots of people to ferry you around. Have a
wonderful time!! I love it when our family gets together! Cherish those
moments!
Again, ENJOY!!!

Janice et al,
I will be flying. I have done this before. I take my walker and my cane. I
get a bulkhead seat. Hubby and I were back to Ontario last fall. However, he
just doesn't feel like going this soon. However, my Mom is 85 so I feel I want
to go. My daughter, 2 sisters and all their families are there as well as my
husbands four sisters. So there will be lots of people to visit as well as my
old friends. My only problem is that when I get there I have to rely on others
to ferry me around. I can only drive with the left foot accelorator. It is a
four hour flight which seems quite long. I also take my air/gel filled seat
cushion from my wheelchair.
