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. 31 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! 87 2
Had a tense meeting with this guy today. Really tough negotiator, but we agreed that it’s best I remain on Earth. Accessibility is pretty poor on his home world too, apparently, and my wheelchair doesn’t have the thrusters necessary to operate there. Hopefully Elon Musk and @spacex will make it possible for me to visit new worlds in the future. 47 3
I love Egypt. I’ve traveled to the country many times, but on each trip I try to see it from a new perspective. Take this day, when I approached the Giza Pyramids not in an air-conditioned taxi as I had done on earlier trips, but from a horse-drawn buggy. Minor adjustments lead to new people, experiences and memories! 58 4
Nearly (but not quite) a year ago, I visited the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Penha, a Roman Catholic Basilica in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It dates to the 1600s and sits on a hill above the city, accessed via 382 steps or, as luck would have it, a wheelchair accessible funicular. 93 6
There are a lot of amazing approach & landing views in the world, but one of my favorites is this one — hugging the Mississippi River with a perfect angle to downtown St. Louis, Missouri and the iconic Gateway Arch. 69 3
I’m truly blessed to have called this guy one of my best friends for more than 20 years now. I’m going to sound like such a sap, but we’ve been through so much together as friends and know most (maybe all) of each other’s dirty secrets. And as the seasons of life change, as we’ve moved across the country and traveled the world, we’ve always been no more than a text message or phone call away from picking right back up on our friendship. After a fantastic weekend with the guys in NYC celebrating this man, I’m looking forward to celebrating your marriage next month, Dan. Love you, man. 125 4
DID YOU KNOW that Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were good friends? So good, in fact, that they had winter homes right next to each other in beautiful Fort Myers, Florida! The men, together with Harvey Firestone, founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, worked in Edison’s Fort Myers laboratory to find a new source of rubber in the United States. 77 2
Who doesn’t love a historic walking/rolling tour? Some cities are certainly more walkable/rollable than others, and I’m pleased to say that the historic downtown “River District” in Fort Myers is one of the best. I enjoyed a 90-minute tour with True Tours during my trip earlier this summer. It’s a beautiful city! 126 4
YOSEMITE. 137 6
Yesterday, I felt as small as an acorn beneath General Sherman, the Giant Sequoia Tree that is the world’s largest tree (by volume). It’s a humbling experience that alters one’s perspective. General Sherman is 275 feet tall, has a diameter of 36 feet and sprouted from a seed between 2,300 and 2,700 years ago! 145 8
The Winnebago Inspire is a wheelchair accessible RV, complete with everything I need to enjoy an accessible road trip! It’s got a heavy-duty Braun wheelchair lift (800 lbs. capacity), a 3 burner stovetop and so much more. 188 17
