Wheelchair Travel Tips
by Nash Ville
Traveling on Holidays has always been fun.
Actually, it has become one of our itineraries
during this most anticipated season of the
year. But you know what guys; even disabled
persons love to travel. They love to stay
out of the confines of their wheelchairs,
enjoy their lives to the fullest, and realize
that theres still a wonderful world
thats waiting for them out there. However,
there are certain considerations for wheelchair
users to make in preparing and planning for
a travel.
According to the article The Disabled
Wheelchair Traveler Holiday Tips
at www.apparelyzed.com, the author has put
together some travel tips which will hopefully
help in planning a holiday for a wheelchair
user. Most of the tips are common sense but
there may be a few you hadnt thought
of! To sum up, traveling tips where presented
in this article for these people in terms
of locations and hotels, flights and travel,
and medication and mobility.
In choosing where to go and stay, if you book
your hotel directly by telephone, email the
hotel and ask them to confirm your booking
by sending you a booking confirmation reference
code. This will be an evidence of your booking
when you get there, just in case for some
reason the hotel denies a booking was made.
This truly happens! In choosing the plane
for your trip, remember that not all airline
companies are equal when it comes to the disabled
traveler. Regarding your medication and mobility,
some airlines will require a fit to
travel certificate from your doctor
and a letter to say you are taking specific
drugs. The letter from your doctor may come
in handy if you are stopped by customs as
well if you are on powerful medication.
Honestly, it was through this article when
I finally realized how really hard it is to
have a disability. I thought having a wheelchair
is just enough for someone to continue to
live normally but then, its certainly
not! Instead of being given due concern by
more normal people while traveling,
there is still a bit of discrimination among
them. Lets face it; we can never do
away with our being rude to these people sometimes.
After all, everybody deserves to enjoy everything
this world can offer. Whether you are disabled
or not, you must always take extra effort
in taking care of yourself from unexpected
incidents especially during travel. Its
better to set certain bounds on your activities
to avoid unwanted things to happen. As for
persons having disabilities, take your time
to enjoy but always remember that your actions
are a bit limited already compared to others.
There you have it, you can now pack your things
and have a good time!
About The Author
Well, I must say that I am not a born writer.
I didnt acquire this gift hereditarily
either. However, Im an adventure book
lover and used to read everything that I come
across in the Internet that sounds interesting.
I think, I only developed it through constant
practice and exposure to numerous writing
stuff. I was chosen to compete in press conferences
that showcased my need-so-well-developed writing
skills. I became part of our school publication
staff. I started as a news writer and photojournalist
of the school paper. Soon, I was appointed
editor-in-chief. It was during this time when
I realized that I needed to be more efficient
in writing because duty called for it. I should
say that this event in my life opened me wholly
to the wonderful world of writing.
With all these, I cant say that I have
mastered writing because of these writing
experiences. I believe that this craft is
also a continuous learning process. Ive
been working hard to become amore efficient
and competent in writing, most especially
now that Im working as a content writer
for this company. Im doing articles
for printing companies, medical sites, legal
sites, and many more.
