If you use a wheelchair you may not have access to places that the majority
of people frequent. There are laws that are slowly opening doors for all of us, however, we live in a big world of many
cultures and many different priorities.
In Boston, for example, it is not feasible, or desirable for
all of the beautiful cobble stone streets to be replaced with smooth surfaces. It would destroy the beauty of this
New England city. So, it is important for all of us who use wheelchairs, canes, or other aids to be
aware and prepared.
On a recent visit to Macy's in Sacramento, California,
I had no difficulty rolling my wheelchair through the store. The automatic door worked and there were no stairs.
The door of the woman's restroom is big and heavy, so you will require assistance. The men's shoe department was a bit
of a challenge, but the salespeople were very willing to help.
This is the type of information
I will be sharing with you. We travel often and of course we have errands
and shopping that must be accomplished. I will observe and report every useful and entertaining tidbit.
Our trip to the City of Lights was amazing. It
was a city of contrasts, especially for the mobility challenged. Please read about our experiences and share yours with
us.
Lions, Tigers, and no Bears--oh my... . Please visit
my Adventures page for my visit to the Sacramento Zoo. The review is near the bottom of the page
under Adventures Out of Town.
Traveling to the UK some time in the future? John
Howarth and his partner Trevor have designed a wonderful, interactive, information packed website just for you. For
my trip to the land of fish and chips, I will peruse their data base at www.abletogo.com for the perfect accommodations. This website enables the disabled
and elderly to search for all types of lodging.
Don't miss their link on my "Contact Us" page.
I have just finished a new booklet, Life Lessons MS Has Taught Me; And, it just keeps getting better. Please consider it.
