This will probably sound really stupid to most of you (if so it'll give you a laugh), but the last time I went out of the UK was in 1959, when I walked out of a wooden shed, across the tarmac and up a short flight of steps onto a 36-seater plane to go to Austria. That was the one and only time I got on an aircraft - the trip was prearranged to fly there and train and ferry back.
I seriously considered going to Denver, but, apart from not knowing if I'd have an RA flare up just before or while there, other questions arose. 1. Would I need something to prove that I have a steel knee joint? Would it set of the metal detectors at airports? I assume they have them because I've seen people in films, etc walk through an arch which sets of a detector if they have anything metal on them. 2. What would be the reaction at US customs (or even the airlines) to me carrying 11 different prescription drugs? Don't fancy being turned back or arrested. 3. Would I get travel insurance - I understand my only hopes would be Saga or Age Concern ( or it might be Help the Aged)? They're just the more sensible questions, so in the end I decided that it was just too much hassle (at least in my mind) and I'm not going.
