Life Interrupted

Take a trip... You deserve a break

My wife and I went on a wonderful ten day all inclusive vacation to the Dominican Republic departing from Boston's Logan International Airport. I'm pretty disabled, as I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for more tha thirty years, so believe me I had many concerns, even doubts whether I should even consider taking such a trip.

I'm legally blind, confined to a wheelchair and struggle with bladder control issues. I was able to go on the most fabulous vacation because of a little planning and preparation ahead of time. In an attempt to reduce the issues and hardship raised by heightend airport security visualise yourself and your special needs ( your walker, wheelchair, oxygen canister etc.). What looks like it will; be an issue? That is what willl draw the attention and suspicion of airport security? Arrive early and be prepared to wait. It's just part of todays reality.

When scheduling your trip work with a travel agent that can provide you with answers and go as far as to arrange for any special needs you may have with both the airline and the resort at which you will be staying. Do not be afraid to ask questions about every special need and concern you may have. They can and will arrange to take care of you and your every issue, but you need to express every need and concern. No one is a mind reader. Like me, I'm sure that you will find your agent to be extremely knowledgable, helpful and compassionate. These are people whose sole purpose it is to make sure that you have a relaxing and memorarable vacation experience. Go and have the time of your life.
