 Good information January 5, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
We haven't used this one yet, but looking it over shows how much is out there that we didn't know about. It is helpful that the book differentiates between "slow walkers" and "wheelers", as this is something that a lot of B&B hosts don't get. Too many think "accessible" is accessible to everyone & those of us who live with "wheelers" are often frustrated to find "it ain't so". This book will help us plan our vacations more carefully and yet not be stuck with typical look-alike chain hotel rooms.

This book is a must for anyone who is challenged, needs a wheelchair or is a slow walker, which includes many senior citizens who love to visit inns and bed and breakfast places for their nostalgia. Most of these travelers have found it difficult in a previous inn or b&b and have decided not to try any others. However, with great research and care for detailed descriptions of handicap services and amenities available, Candy Harrington has opened a whole wonderful world of travel to the challenged traveler, one that is most comforting as well as accessible. She describes these places even in safari parks and most unexpected places.This is a MUST for any slow traveler or wheelchair traveler. Excellent!
