Dummies Guide to flying to Oshkosh

If you're not normally very active, take it slow and don't push yourself
too hard the first day or two, or your knees/legs/ankles will hurt so bad
you won't enjoy the rest of the week.

Truer words were never spoken.

After a long winter of inactivity, we, as a family, start taking longer and
longer walks after dinner. This builds slowly until we're covering a couple
of miles a night, and is the ONLY way I am still (at age 45) able to walk
all day, every day, for the whole week.

When I was pushing 40, I went to OSH *without* doing this routine. I ended
up taking a very nasty spill on some gravel, simply because my legs were
rubber after a couple of days.

If you want to see everything at OSH, you will walk 6 to 8 hours EVERY DAY,
in all kinds of weather conditions. (Mostly HOT.) Be ready for it, or your
trip may be less than happy.
