My mom visited me in Boston this week! Given that it’s cold, dark and spooky outside at this time of year, I thought it appropriate to visit Salem, Massachusetts! 🧙‍♀️ 🧹🌙 🪄 🔮 130 6

Last night, I had to overnight in London due to some operational issues on the part of British Airways. The delay was a massive inconvenience, but I always try to find a positive outlook — and hey, what’s wrong with a night in London? 107 6
Belgian waffles are NOT overrated. Not pictured here is me dropping this beautiful and delicious creation on the ground after a few bites. Food for the local critters! 🤣 52 4
Yup, that’s me, a triple amputee tearing it up on the bumper car circuit. 🤣 112 4
Many people say the star of the show at the Vatican Museums is the Sistine Chapel — without a doubt, it’s amazing. It’s the place where the College of Cardinals meet to elect the Roman Pontiff, and it’s home to Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes: The Last Judgment and The Creation of Adam. Amazing! 95 11
It’s my first trip to Rome as a wheelchair user! I last visited the Eternal City 10 years ago (prior to my disability). It’s great to be back! 303 21
What’s your dream vacation? I have been fortunate to take many incredible trips, but one that stands out is my visit to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I took a helicopter tour of the city - including up to and around the Christ the Redeemer statue. 82 6
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the latest U.S. airport to install an adult changing facility — making it one of at least 15 airports in the United States with an adult changing table. A full list of those 15 airports is available at WheelchairTravel.org. 93 8
The Barking Crab is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston’s Seaport district. Crab cakes + lobster bisque + French fries + salad makes for a perfect meal. 🦀 🦞 🥗 🍟 When the weather is nice, you’ll enjoy dining under the big top tent! 62 11
Earlier this summer, I had a few days open on my calendar, so I met up with my good friend Michele from @turningleftforless. We met-up at London’s Heathrow Airport, went lounge hopping, then flew to Budapest, Hungary (on a Finnair plane wet leased to British Airways). We logged off from work and enjoyed what is truly a beautiful city. 107 7
A happy post. 69 8
