Great resource! April 30, 2009 Cheryl L. Shimeta 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For my husband in a wheelchair who loves to travel - this is a great resource with many new ideas we hadn't thought of. I hope future versions of this come out with more accessible vacations and information!
Great Ideas January 12, 2009 Sharleen Palaima (Pittston, PA USA) Great ideas for both my husband ( in a wheelchair) and myself with bad knees. The locations are some that I've known about, but others have us heading in a new direction..
Gives me new hope! May 4, 2008 Constant Reader (Springfield, IL, USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
As a person struggling with PPMS (primary progressive multiple sclerosis), I was depressed by what I thought was the reality that I would not be able to travel. Not so! This book makes visiting all the places I've wanted to see doable. Thanks Candy Harrington for this book and your enabling outlook on travel.

It arrived in decent shape and with fair promptness. A better description of the emphasis of the book would have aided selection.
Travel Agents Need This Book February 11, 2008 Bonnie Neely 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
101 ACCESSIBLE VACATIONS BY CANDY B. HARRINGTON is a practical and innovative travel guidebook for the physically challenged traveler. Candy is well known in the field of accessible travel and is the editor of Emerging Horizons Magazine. She discusses the previously held theory that all disabled travelers should go to Disney World for vacations because it is know for being well planned for the handicapped tourist. But not everyone likes theme parks, so there must be many alternatives, of which most travel agents are unaware. In this book she tells of many, many different choices for ideal holidays for anyone who has difficulty traveling. She details holidays of every kind in places in many states and in several international destinations. This is a wonderful book for any handicapped traveler and for all travel agents.
