I've used the Drive Medical Scout/Spitfire DST 4 wheel for going on 6 years now.  It's not the lightest travel scooter around, and I choose the 4 wheel version of the 3 wheel version for stability, even if it has a wider turning radius.  It breaks down into 4 parts: Seat, battery, rear drive section and the main section.  Individually, I think the heaviest piece is about 40 lbs.  When broken down, it takes up about as much room as 2 normal sized rolling suitcases.  This thing is a beast and a workhorse.  I've travelled all over with it, including being able to see about 75 to 80% of the ruins of Uxmal in the Yucatan, thanks to a couple of friendly people on the tour we were on that lifted it over 2 or 3 obstacles.  I've taken it on a number of cruises on Carnival and Celebrity, and only once were we in a accessible cabin, and that time, it was only what Carnival calls an "Ambulatory Accessible" cabin, and I had no problems with it.  In one cabin, I would back in to the cabin, take the seat off and then back it under the "desk" area that was near the door.  That worked great, because it meant that I could just pull out of the cabin.  It helped that I took off the arm rests, so I was able to fit it through a normal cabin door.  You can usually find this scooter for under $1,000 and it's even available on Amazon.  It also has a decent weight capacity.

I am considering upgrading to the Fold and Go powered wheelchair as it can go up an even steeper incline than the Spitfire DST and will handle rougher terrain, which is a plus, given the places the wife and I like to travel to.

Atlanta is the hometown of Coca Cola. Is there even anything else?;)

When I first moved to Atlanta to be with my DW, my first day at work, we went out to lunch, and the place we ended up had Pepsi products. I asked my co-workers "Are they legally allowed to sell Pepsi in Atlanta?" :D

May I suggest starting to drink tea? Hot tea, not cold sweet tea. A good alternative to coffee, and a great alternative to soda.

Yes, but this DH really likes his caffeine cold and carbonated :D
