Barrier-Free Travel
For those who love to travel, the thrill of discovering a new place, culture, history and adventure is one of the most magical experiences we have. But for those with any sort of mobility challenge, traveling can be difficult and exasperating.
Are you thinking about taking a vacation, but afraid to take the leap because you use a wheelchair? Do you worry about your parents traveling because they don't get around like they used to? Do you just want to find some good accessible travel resources?
Author Candy Harrington has the answer. She has just released Barrier-Free Travel: A Nuts And Bolts Guide For Wheelers And Slow Walkers. And to celebrate the book's release, Candy is giving away an autographed copy of the book - you can enter the drawing here!
Billed as the definitive guide to accessible travel, this indispensable resource contains detailed information about the logistics of planning accessible travel by plane, train, bus and ship. The third edition features information on the recently updated air travel laws, updated resources, a new shore excursion chapter and extended ground transportation resources.
Says Harrington, "Planning an accessible vacation can be daunting if you don't even know where to start, but this book gives you the resources to do it -- and it will save you some time, money and frustration in the process." Barrier-Free Travel includes important details about accessible air travel, traveling with oxygen, accessible ground transportation, choosing a travel agent, on-line booking, accessible recreation and even budget travel.
Says Harrington, "Many people don't realize that accessible travel -- travel for wheelchair-users to slow walkers -- doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. For example, did you know you can stay in a wheelchair-accessible yurt on the Oregon coast for just $28 per night? That's why I included a whole chapter on budget travel -- to let people know that there are deals out there."
