Disabled People Travel Too! Somebody knows It!, December 1, 2007
This review is from: Traveling...Like Everybody Else: A Practical Guide for Disabled Travelers (Paperback)
This is a slightly dated travel book (1987) aimed specifically at the disabled traveler. There is lots of good information to be had here, from what to pack to year-round temperatures around the world. There are sections on Airline Services for Disabled Passengers, hotels and transportation, Health and Travel, Tours for the Disabled, and appendices on everything from Access Information in the U.S. and foreign currencies, and clothing sizes for shopping, to Visas and traveler vocabulary tips. (Simple phrases translated into many languages.) There are even directions for making your own Passport and Visa Bag, to wear around your neck!
Because I traveled a great deal before I became disabled, I was most eager to read things like "Where to rent an Electric Disability Scooter abroad." Well, there was no mention of that sort of mobility assistive technology. That will have to wait for the next edition of the book.
