Was up at at 5 ready to leave at seven, was a nice drive with Cheryl to the airport arived at 9.30, by the time i got through to the board gate did not have t wa long before i was on the plane, being in a wheelchair they put you on first and last off. First thing i noticed when i got out of Nicks air con car was how hot and humid it is, it’s very hot and humid but once inside it was nice and cool. Going to have a lazy day today, will be in and out the pool most the day

Am I Ready

- August 31, 2024

I Think i have packed every thing, bags a lot bigger than I wanted but 1/2 is full with sweets and chocolate but then they are for Erin and family and will give me room to bring stuff back, hope to start to add photos when i get there. I think i have worked it out, we will see. People keep asking me if i am excited, to be honest I am not really. I am really looking forward to seeing Nick & Gina again, think it was 2013 when we last met. I am going to have so much fun when I get to Erin and her family, they have 4 young kids so that means they will have a 5th whilst I am there. As Del Boy said " He who dares wins" I will try a little to stay out of trouble

USA Trip

- August 29, 2024

Its been a while since my last post, just over a year. Not much has happened, had my shoulder operation in September 23 so only really started going back out this spring, have been getting quite fit with all the pushing. So I am ready for my trip. I am going for 8 weeks, will be staying with Nick for a while as he has a road trip planed of 6 days in his truck, so looking forward to that. I pick up my car on the 9th sept then will leave Nicks on the 10th sept and head to Erin, about a 3 day drive, will stay there a few weeks (not sure how many). When i leave there i am going to SpaceX, it's a 5/6 day drive. really looking forward to seeing there even if its just a drive past then the drive back to Nicks which will take about 5/6 days Then chill out at Nicks until the 4th Nov for my flight home. This is the min time it will take to get to places, but I expect I will get side tracked, well I hope I do. Sunday 8 th Pick up car from Sarasota airport after 2pm. Monday 9 th Head t

Mick: Hi my name is Mick, I am a Christian and was baptised in September 2010. I am 58 years old and have been in an active wheelchair (Quickie Argon) since June 2014. Prior to that I used crutches for several years and then a normal wheelchair, which I could not self-propel very far, in order to get around. This was due to limited use of my legs from a spinal injury and operation I had 40 years ago. Getting an active wheelchair changed my life; up until then I had very little independence, was not able to exercise and life was pretty miserable. But the last year has seen a big difference; I have a lot more independence now and I’ve been slowly building up my exercise routine (and my muscles) so that I am about ready to start doing challenges in my wheelchair to raise money for charities.
