Very simply, our trip in December wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the personal experiences and wisdom posted by members of this board regarding navigation of the approval process. In particular, the advice on how to sort out the issues with multiple denials by the EHAS website..use multiple email addresses, the phone number posted for help that got me a live EHAS person to speak to on Sunday in time to get us on our Monday morning flight. Thanks again to all who've taken time to post this useful information! Headed back again in April, and it should be much less stressful as a result of everything learned here.

"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." ~ John F. Kennedy
