I can walk short distances, no problem.
But when it comes to NCECA, it had rapidly become a choice of staying
home or taking a motorized scooter. That was an easy choice! Instead
of flying with my own scooter this year, I called the hotel and asked
the concierge if there was a company who rented them to conference
attendees. They gave me the number, and I rented one. It was not
cheap, but it certainly beat not going! Navigating doors was pretty
easy although often people did hold them open. The hardest parts are
getting in and out of the hotel room on your own, negotiating in
crowds, and watching for people who walk one way while looking
another or who suddenly stop and go the opposite direction. I tried
to pick quiet times to see the commercial exhibits, and didn't try to
take it into conference rooms.
So, if you can't go the distance on your own feet, try motoring!

Jean:
Are you planning on attending NCECA Baltimore next year? If so, I
shall bring you a few things that I think might ease your
"motoring"...a bright lemon yellow boa (maybe two), and an brass and
rubber bulbed "oh-oo-ga" horn for the front. If it doesn't keep
them from tripping over you, it will certainly get their attention.
Or you can do what my neighbor used to, and "politely" run over
their feet, then snicker as you drive away, muttering "serves 'em
right, wearing open-toed shoes this time of year..."
