Over the years

Bears with me as the following takes on reasoning and substance.
<<<------->>>

The last time I remember taking a vacation was was back into the mid seventies. I was married at the time and she wanted to go to Cedar Point. (And I hate heights and roller coasters.) Despite my fears I went along and was glad I did. Because it confirmed what I already knew but now she knew as well. And yes she showed mercy as we kept our feet on the ground the rest of the day.

Fast forward to this space in time.(Where did I park my hovercraft? Oh sorry to far into the future? My bad, sorry!

It's nearly mid 2019. I am single again and prayerfully looking for a second wife but not to greatly. Way I look at it is, if my 2nd wife is out there she will find me, I just hope she has the hovercraft.

Within the last six months I have a minor and a major heart attack. And by the doctors standards I am to be resting, no work of any kind, no driving, no going for walks and no yard work or mowing the grass.

I am for all due reasoning classified as "homebound."
And due to being on oxygen nearly 24/7 attending church is virtually a future event.

Fast forward to the year 2021 and 2022.
Recently I was watching one of my DVD tin sets about Route 66 when I heard the city name Winslow Arizona. And it rang a bell; I had heard that name from an old Eagle song titled taking it easy.
Now I'm not much on doing crazy things but I figured the following; if I am to be "taking it easy" then why can't I too stand on the corner in Winslow Arizona as well.

So, today(May 1 2019) I talked it over with my doctor. He stood his ground no vacations, no relocating, no-one distance traveling in 2019.
However, he may clear me to go in 2020 and or 2021 provided a friend goes with me.

So, the plan is to take a train from Flint Michigan to Winslow Arizona in 2021 once the money is scraped together for the round trip train, food and hotel costs times two to cover friends expenses.
Before you get all excited there is an expense my health insurance will not cover; the inogen system.
Such a system would return some lost freedom and would make a vacation far more enjoyable. But my health care sees it as "to expensive." Thus, if I want it I need to cough up the monies myself, is basically what they said today.

How can you help?

#1. Understand that this trip will not transpire until I get doctors clearance and that will not happen until at least next year.

#2. Could not transpire until the Inogen oxygen machine is in my hands.

#3. All funding for myself and my travel companion is paid for. Traveling by way of #Amtrak round trip of course.
