"Now in its third edition, Barrier-Free Travel is essential reading for every traveler with mobility limitations. With over 100 new photographs and updated travel rules and regulations affecting access outside of the US, this book contains essential, thoughtful, and reliable information- not just common-sense tips. Barrier-Free Travel gives readers the tools and resources to prepare for both the expected and the unexpected. It covers everything from the logistics of air travel and how to protect your wheelchair in flight, to how to find an accessible hotel room. Also included, are extensive chapters on cruises and accessible shore excursions- with contact information for foreign tour operators who are able to provide them.Barrier-Free Travel provides valuable information that will ensure travelers with mobility limitations spend their time creating meaningful memories."
This is a compilation of overcoming challenges for wheelers and slow walkers (as she describes us!). I found the information somewhat trite and didn't learn a whole lot from it although I view it from the perpective of someone who travelled extensively before becoming "mobility challenged" (as I like to describe it!). I was really looking for more information on how each country outside the USA addresses ADA-like issues. What's it like to use a wheelchair in, say, Madrid or Rio? Are there taxis available to carry wheelchairs? Are wheelchair vans available to rent? Other than these issues I found the book quite informative and would recommend it.
