      TESTIMONIALS

      5.0 out of 5 stars

      A gem for those with disabilities or those traveling with the disabled, May 22, 2013

      ShyGal avid book reader (Colorado) - Amazon Verified Purchase

      This short guide is a quick read that is nevertheless packed with useful tips for the disabled who wish to travel or those traveling with the disabled. The author first gives an excellent overview of the definition of the term disabled, then reviews how the tips in the guide will specifically help. Benefits include how to have your assistant travel for free, how the visually-impaired can see better on trips, and so forth. At first, I was a little doubtful. I have quite a bit of experience as the traveling companion of my elderly great aunt, and I thought the list of benefits was a little overblown. But then I read through the rest of the book and thought the tips to be very helpful, well-researched, and true-as-promised. The book has checklists for each section that helps the traveler determine what kind of trip they want to have and then proceeds to offer checklists to help the traveler prepare for the trip so that the trip turns out just as desired. Having been so well-traveled as a companion, even I was surprised by the nuggets of knowledge and resources offered—everything from TSA rules and regulations to organizations dedicated to swapping lodgings that are fully accessible for all kinds of disabilities. The guide even tells you how to travel with wheelchairs, canes, and so forth. It's pretty detailed, very accurate, and should offer a great deal of freedom to those want to travel in spite of disabilities. Wish I had this book earlier on in my travels with my great aunt!

      5.0 out of 5 stars Nice overview of travel tips for various challenges!, July 28, 2013
