Charlotte, wow, that is tremendous!

Should we name your new power chair, " Charlotte's happy wheels?"

If we see the power chair a symbol of freedom, then we will be bolder and
careful and explore this big beautiful world of ours.

Hello all. This may not sound like much to those of you who are pretty good
travellers. I'm fairly proficient with my power chair indoors and good
outside following voice directions. But I've never ventured out outside on
my own. A few weeks ago when we took some of our animals to the vet, my
partner showed me the route to Target which is only next door. It was very
simple. So today I took the last fur critter in and once I dropped her at
the vet, I made my way, by myself, outside, to Target. Once in Target, I
listened and used my fairly good indoor travel skills to listen for and find
the Starbucks. I then navigated the line and found a table with a bit of
voice direction from the cashier. After I finished at Starbucks, I got
shopping assistance and navigated the store with voice direction and then
went back outside and back to the vet's office without a hitch. Feeling
pretty proud of myself considering I've only had the chair 18 months and no
real professional training.
Charlotte
