Vacations, trips, overnight stays are like planning theD-Day invasion. Whenever my wife and I go on vacation or travel, we call it an 'adventure' because every time we go there usually a funny story about some kind of foul up during the 'adventure'. Hotels don't have shower chairs-hygiene reasons. there are some new one on the market that come apart and are packed in a rather small bag. If you want to go on Spring Break, start planning now for next year or roll the dice and have an 'adventure' like the rest of us encounter. It could some fun and a definite learning experience! Tom

At this time you won't get the best spots or the best prices, but that should not prevent you from attending. Yes you can rent a van for $100-125 a day with handcontrols, and bring your shower chair with you. Where are you heading to? Best Wishes In a message dated 3/8/2010 10:18:07 P.M.

I wanted to go to the beach but didn't because: 1. I don't have transportation (there is a bus system) 2. and mainly because in order to take a shower I need my shower chair. For those of you who use one you know that's is not something an individual can pack up & take with you. When you travel or vacation how do you do it? I want/need to go to the beach. Do hotels have shower chairs available? Is it possible to rent vans? ( I have my licence to drive a van with hand controls) It will be 4 years since my accident and I have not been anywhere except Mom's, the Sleep Inn over Christmas break (that was a nightmare), and in a dorm room. Please tell me how you guys go on vacation, where, how do you do it? If I am ever going to go it will be by myself. Have any of you pulled this off? I really need and would appreciate your input, I am tired of "feeling" alone and want to change. Thanks
