Nope, still waiting. I needed to get my Driver's license renewed on my birthday which I hadn't done yet when my sister got into the accident. There was really no rush because I don't drive anymore, but since the car was totaled, I need to get the title notarized, which means I need a current Driver's License, so I had to renew it. It hasn't come in the mail yet. When it does, I can get the Title signed by a Notary and then I have to turn in my car's plates. That's when they'll give me the money. Nothing is ever easy. lol

I have been looking into this NYC trip. So far, I found a hotel on the same block as the theater, and it is supposedly only a ten-minute walk to get to the venue. The cheapest handicap assessable room is $400 a night and that was a deal if I booked within a certain amount of time so since I don't really know any details or when to go, I couldn't book it. It's most likely cheaper during the week then the weekend, but I'm guessing for two nights it'll be at least $1,500. Just for the hotel. The tickets are selling out but as of now, it seems good for May or those last dates in June still for about $300 a ticket. That might go up, who knows? Then there's the cost of the plane if I go alone, or gas if my sister goes with me and the housing of the two animals. So still a lot of variables in the air for a 90-minute play. lol

If I can manage to find someone maybe one of my friend's who's willing to go to the show with me and meet me in NY, that would alleviate some of the cost. We could at least split the hotel and maybe they'd pay for their own ticket and most importantly I'd have help. I started a thread on reddit asking anyone if they've ever done NYC solo in a wheelchair before and some said there were a lot of wheelchair accessible buses and cabs etc... but they were also mostly able bodied and used the chair only when necessary. I need help getting into and out of vehicles which is why I need a place so close to the venue. The few who used the wheelchair all the time said they needed help because the ground was so uneven it was hard to wheel themselves which is exactly what I was thinking.

Then there's also the getting from the airport to the hotel problem. We'll see.

That does sound like a lot of hassle you'd have to deal with just to go.  It's a shame things aren't easier and cheaper.

I agree! I did get my driver's license in the mail yesterday, so at least there's that. lol
