I have had a wonderful holiday, spending quality time with my parents and husband. My father uses his wheelchair all the time now and is only able to walk a few steps. Travelling with the wheelchair was not as hard as I had imagined. The airline we used were helpful in every way, providing extra assistance whenever it was needed even allowing Dad and I into the cockpit at the end of the journey. The staff at the airports were also helpful, giving assistance where necessary and therefore making it an enjoyable experience. America is so geared up for the disabled, with ramps into most buildings and disabled toilets everywhere. We did have one negative experience in a restaurant but that is the ignorance of one person out of hundreds of others that we met, not worth dwelling on.
We did so much that it would take days to record everything, so for now here are some of the highlights of our trip.
As you can see, a very full holiday. We stayed at a resort on Lake Davenport with several pools, hot tubs, bars and restaurants. We had a lot of trips out which included Disney, Winter Park, Winter Gardens, Old Town Kissimmee, Mount Dora where I did manage to catch up with a couple of friends for a short visit. Food as always played an important part of our trip. I now need a holiday to get over this holiday but it did us all good to have a break away from the mundane.
