May 21, 2018. Madison, Mississippi. Options.

Ken is keen to go to Nova Scotia this summer and he is working hard to increase his strength. But getting there is not easy. It seems we have three viable options: 1. Air Ambulance will take us non stop from Jackson to Halifax in 3hours and 45 minutes. Then Mr. Gaskill drives us home. Expensive at $25,000. All done in one day. 2. Commercial Flights. Jackson to Atlanta. 2 hour wait. Atlanta to Boston and stay in the airport hotel. Final leg the next day to Halifax and the same shuttle to home. Two long days and about $4,000. 3. Drive. Hire a driver and a big car and take the ferry from Portland. The car and driver leave us at home in Nova Scotia. We estimate four days and no idea of cost. Maybe $6,000. Motels, food ferry, gas. Stop when ever we need a walk. We are trying to figure out what is the best way to go.. We are still wondering if Ken will be able to make the trip. He is much stronger than when we arrived 8 weeks ago and as we are thinking that by mid July he just might be ready for a journey. We must eventually make a decision. But not today. Our internet is now fixed. AT&T came late this afternoon. Sorry not to post last evening. The big storm did the damage.
