    Good to hear from you Marty, sounds like you are well on your way.. Many people have the same issue with the blood pressure rising and most doctors will give you 2-3 times to bring it down, they been around awhile to understand people get a little nervous.. I hope you end up getting a good trainer, somebody you can relate to.. Practice that SMITH system it really does help.. They say the largest number of accidents are lane changing, something I trained my eyes to do is check that bottom mirror "1st" then the top mirror (you will notice your eyes wanting to check the big mirror first, don't do it lol)then the hood mirror in that order.. No matter how often you check those mirrors you will always get a sneaky 4 wheeler move up into you blind spot.. Just a tip for you I thought I would share..

    Good luck my man and be safe..

    Great to hear from you! Yes Holiday inn select is great! I hope you have the tub that has the massager so you can relax. The last one I stayed in did! IT WAS AWESOME! The free computer/internet is awesome to as long as there isn't anyone sitting right next to you l.o.l.!
    Ok good luck and keep up the great work! Watch that blood pressure now, don't let any instructors or students get it higher!
