I'm a pilot
Martha, I'm in SoCal, not sure you are very close. But I'm a private pilot and would be willing to do a very short flight if you are in the area.
If not you could just fly here.
I want to go to the Galapagos Islands. I want to go birding off of Antartica. I want to see my sister in California more than once a year. I want to visit my friends in NYC.
I wonder if the flight simulator might be helpful. You folks are talking me out of the try the small plane thing.
