With the exception of Florida and Seattle, NONE of these trips could have
been done without GA. Our time schedule and the ability to return on a
moment's notice make the airplane an absolute necessity, if we ever wish to
leave home at all.

You seem to forget about weather delays. "Moment's notice" my foot. Me, I've had
to cancel more family trips than fly them.

Our children's lives would be dramatically diminished without GA, and every
time we're stuck driving somewhere they realize it.

You're the guy who recently begged for ideas on things to make them want to go
flying instead of something else.
