34. I log in two miles a day at work

Feb 2024

and 2-3 in my neighborhood on the weekends so a wheelchair would just be an extra headache at this point. Sometimes they require the shoes off, sometimes not. I don’t care, least of my worries. The only thing that really bothers me at airports is once I’m there, and my ride has left (heading back to the Keys from Miami or Fort Lauderdale) will there be a snafu, like a canceled flight or a very late flight if I’m taking a connection? That can screw up my whole day or even week and it has happened in the past.
Anyway, thank you for the advice and happy travels to you!
