Hi Harry!

 HL> Like where, Andy? What are your #1 suggestions?
 HL> Thanks.

Well my Preference would be Hawaii,but I can imagine where some
other people may want me to go,;->. Actually,my wife and I have
made a couple of trips to Hawaii, The people at the airports were a
big help, I was using my battery powered three wheeler and they
would have me ride it to the door of the aircraft, then 2 or three
(one time there were SIX) flight attendants (meaning Stewardess's)
would help me to (walk?) the rest of the way down the aisle to a
seat preferrably as close to the restrooms as possible. And when we
would reach our destination,they would retrieve my three wheeler
from the cargo compartment and have it waiting for me at the door
of the aircraft,If for some reason they couldn't have my wheels
there,they would have a manual chair waiting for me and proceed to
push me to wherever my three wheeler was. I can't say ANYTHING bad
about the treatment I got,Not even the standard lost luggage
bit.8-)
