Money no object - SR22 / Ovation / A36 ?

This is what you need! Twin engine reliability, can go anywhere, very docile single engine. It can go anywhere and haul 7 people and bags! I've flow many hours in these things and they are perfect in any conditions plus if money was an object it’s priced affordable for....some.

No parachute deployment, but what were the chances that someone knew that system so well and the wife was able to follow the instructions? I think that was amazing, but if the situation repeated itself with only slight differences, wouldn't it be nice to have that parachute? I mean literally, it's a parachute, and this would have been a great time to use it if other methods weren't successful. As pilots we may tend to over-estimate our "control" over situations, but crazy stuff happens. Every once and a while a prop flies off, cylinder heads crack, crankshafts bust, control cables break, mid-airs, etc. Sometimes it's something we "could have seen coming", but as we know more and more, it might be more likely that it's the perfect storm of factors that no one has foreseen yet.
