A happy post. 59 8
How about that? 37 1
My new friend Dave, who joined the Wheelchair Travel group trip to Portugal with his wife earlier this summer, drove down to St. Louis to see a baseball game with me! Although the Cardinals lost to the Dodgers, we both had a fun night at the ballpark! 47 4
Brugge is the capital of the Belgian province of West Flanders and it is routinely rated as one of the top 10 most beautiful cities in Europe. 52 3
I like to think that every person you meet can make an impact on your life, but the number who make a profound impact is quite small. This woman, my middle school librarian, is one of those people who made an astronomical impact on my life. Her encouragement of my curiosity and development of my intellect — her insistence that I ask the right questions about the world around me — is a gift that I will never be able to repay. I thank God for the gift of Judith Weaver. A true friend and teacher. 74 3
In the United States, few hotels that offer airport shuttle service have an accessible vehicle, and they rarely have a reliable alternative as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. I’ve missed many flights in the U.S. as a victim of inaccessible shuttles. 71 2
Loved spending a couple days in Belgium with one of my favorite people, Blandine. 😊 69 11
Construction of the iconic Rua Augusta Arch, located on Lisbon’s Commerce Plaza, began in 1755. The arch bears the Portuguese coat of arms, greeting visitors and welcoming them to what is today a dining/shopping district spanning Rua Augusta and many of the surrounding streets. It’s a beautiful place! 46 5
What a joy it was to finally explore #Portugal with a group of my #WheelchairTravel readers! After the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted travel in 2020, this group trip was rescheduled multiple times, but finally took place this month (albeit with fewer tourists). 90 12
Vilnius, Lithuania is a beautiful city, perhaps best seen from the hilltop in the castle complex, on which the Gediminas Tower sits. The hilltop is reached via a wheelchair accessible funicular — wheelchair users ride free. The palace museum, located below the tower, is one of the most fantastic in Europe, with ramps and lifts throughout to make it and the underground excavations accessible. 37 3
Absolute joy seeing my friend @sanna.kalmari in her hometown of Helsinki, Finland! Thrilled to reconnect and enjoy cocktails and a meal in a fantastic restaurant downtown! Looking forward to our next meet-up already! 😊 94 2
Taste dishes from world-renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller and Wolfgang Puck at the best restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip! 47 1
