Vacation or Staycation?





Summer is coming to a close.  (hope this heat is too)

Kids are heading back to school soon (if not already)

Did you get your summer vacation in?

I have heard from many that they wish they knew of some wheel chair accessible places. 

Well i found this great website www.disabilitytodaynetwork.com

This is an all inclusive site that has "channels" of information about travel, products, and much more


When you click on TRAVEL - its lists companies that either tell us what is accessible or refer you to Travel Groups designed to assist us


as there are so many destinations in the world that have made their cities or attractions accessible. i encourage you to research that particlular city to get more detail information.

In my research i have found that most major attractions have ensured that they accomade those with disabilities....here is an example for those traveling to see Mickey Mouse in either Orlando of California  http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/disabgeneral.htm

How about a Cruise?  Most Cruise lines are accessible to us and have room accomadations to fit our needs.  Visit the Cruise Critic for their top choices of crusie lines

Dont want to travel to a different town/state? 

Nothing better (and less expensive) than a staycation.

Rent Movies - Go to Movies - Camp out in your living Room or Back yard.  Do you have an Amusement Parks, historical landmarks in your area to vist?  Most places give a resident discount.
Is there a lake or beach nearby?  How about campgrounds where you can enjoy a nice picnic (if its not too hot)

I am not sure if anyone watches Push Girls on Sundance Channel (I recommend it if your dont - these girls dont have MS - but are wheelchair bound)


Its about 5 women who are wheel chair bound.  They dont let their disability stop them.  On the last episode they went Skiing.  Yes many ski resorts have special equipment to accomadate us all.  They swim, dance... THEY ADAPT,  They dont say I cant do it until they try.

So as this summer comes to a close - Enjoy time with your family and friends....try something new...if you want to travel to a specific place, look them up online to ensure they are accessible to you...if you want to stay in...HAVE A BLAST!!!!
