From Library Journal

Designed for travelers with mobility problems and hearing and vision impairments, this vacation planner covers 38 vacation areas in the United States, including national parks, historic districts, and major cities. The standard entry for each area includes a map, a list of important contacts for disabled visitors, arrival and departure tips, and information about getting around, exploring, lodging, dining, shopping, outdoor activities, and entertainment. Where relevant, these sections provide detailed practical information for disabled visitors in categories marked by M (mobility), H (hearing), and V (vision) symbols. With appendixes listing organizations that provide more information, the wealth of practical information contained in this book makes it invaluable for the approximately 30 million North Americans with disabilities. Highly recommended for all public and other libraries serving disabled patrons.
