Birdie that is not bad going, must say you would enjoy Europe especially in the summer!:thumbs:
Yeah I can't wait...I've studied so many places...it is hard to believe sometimes that they are only a hour on the plane away and I've never been to see it. I think when we first got here we thought there is loads of time to do that....but from next year it is a priority!!!

Maybe we can organise something like that here hey??? [/B]
Cubbie, U are welcome to crash at our place if you ever want to go skiing in the future, although we are an hour away from the nearest skiing ( Oberstdorf, on the Austrian Border right in the south of Germany ) you can get there in 45 min by train, and if u do it on a weekend they allow a discount train fare for up to 3 adults and 3 kids return for just 28 Euro on a Saturday or sunday.
Also Friedrichshafen airport can be done using Ryan air. Also about 45 min by train from us.
Get some buddies together, and U are welcome if U dont mind blow up matrasses etc.
Jillibeans can give U more info if U like.

U know London is the worst city to get around with aWheelchairs....u cannot get a tube as there are no lifts, (no sure how it is now) but very difficult.....first investigate your options and see where u wanna take your son and try to find ways to make it easier....get a black cab as they are excellent with wheelchairs, i am not sure of buses.....never actually tried a bus in London except tour buses....

Regarding the black cab, my thoughts exactly...and will definitely have to research very carefully
