Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hmmm - our van isn't wheelchair accessible yet, but I'll ask around with some people that I know.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I have a mini van w/a lift. How tall are you in your chair?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I'm not sure how tall I am. But I can duck if I have to, and my headrest can come off if it's too tall. Getting in shouldn't be a problem. But oh my gosh, you don't know how happy and grateful I'd be if you could help us out! I've been trying everything to find transportation! (And it just occured to me, duh, ask the SMA listers!) Does your van have tie-downs for the chair too? I've been in some that don't, and they always scare me. So yeah, let me know if you think this would work and if you don't mind letting us use the van, and we'll work out the details. Thanks!! ~e~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 When would you neeed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 December 1, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. That night. And actually, I have my plane tickets for Christmas break and am going to have the same problem coming back then, on January 5. Would either/both of those be okay? ~e~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 we can drive you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Thank you soooo much!! You're my new best friend. If driving way up there and back is a problem, we could even get somebody to drive. Though I'm sure you're not real eager to lend your van out to a perfect stranger, so either way is okay. ( " We " is my friend/PA and myself, by the way) Delta called us the other day, and apparently our flight's been cancelled. So they moved us to a different one, which won't get in until like 10:something. That kind of annoys me, so I won't be getting a great night's sleep before classes start the next morning. Will that still be okay though? I'm still wondering if your van has tie-downs? Ok, I must get to class. Thanks so much!!!!!! I REALLY appreciate it!! ~e~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 well i guess it'll still work... what are the chances of tie-downs being there by thanksgiving? I'm so excited to visit home. ~e~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
