That's been our dilemma. We wanted Joe (and now Becca) to do gliders at age
14, in (relatively) nearby Muscatine, IA, which has a small glider
operation -- but getting there is a 45 minute drive, minimum. We simply
don't have 90 minutes in our day to waste sitting in a car.


um, driving somewhere in order to go flying isn't a waste...

and perhaps using motorcycles as the mode of transportation
would be fun (side car?)

With $4/gallon gas, I beg to differ.

Now that would sure be fun -- but we're still up against that time
constraint. My schedule simply doesn't permit 1.5 empty hours anymore...
