Austin, TX is known as not only the capital of Texas, but the capital of live music.   Music can be found everywhere, from local coffee shops and bars to the grocery store.    It hasn't always been this way.  Austin started out as a small settlement of Native Americans along the Colorado River that runs through it.  They were joined by Spanish missionaries in the late 1700s and by Anglos in the 1800s who called the settlement Waterloo. more...

Examining Austin, TX Accessibility
August 29, 2011 :: By Michell Haase

They are lined with a variety of bistros and music venues to suit any taste. I was thrilled to see a number of disabled parking spaces on nearly every block.

August 24, 2011 :: By Todd Huber
Being out on the water can be a very freeing experience for everyone.  Seeing gorgeous sunsets drop into the horizon, feeling the wind in your face as the sails tack, or experiencing the thrill of rafting white water rapids along a canyon river all come to mind as adventures not to be missed.  These invigorating adventures are not exclusive to those who are able-bodied.  There are many opportunities for people with disabilities, too!  We've highlighted some fantastic water expeditions that include everyone so that you can get your feet wet, too!

Enjoying Accessible Travel in Hawaii
By Travelin Wheels Staff
Having recently spent ten days in Maui, it was very difficult to come back to reality. The sounds of the ocean crashing on the beach, the coconut trees bending in the trade winds, the squawking of exotic birds and the smell of beautiful island flowers intoxicated the senses. Not only is Maui an absolutely beautiful place, but we found accessibility to be very good.
