London

London's accessibility to people with disabilities has improved by leaps and bounds in the last five years ago. Five years ago, there were few accessible bathrooms, much less trains, buses, or hotels. However, the Anti-discriminatory Legislation of 2010, the upcoming Paralympics, and the advocacy and training efforts of organizations like Tourism for All UK, have improved London accessibility for the better. more...

The Paralympics are On! U.S. Broadcasters Don't Care if You Know That!
September 05, 2012 :: By Michell Haase
If you follow us on Facebook, which I really hope you do, you know that we have been following the Paralympics and encouraging everyone else to, as well. I am fortunate to know many current and former Paralympians and have witnessed the amount of sacrifice and discipline it takes to be a Paralympic athlete. It is so exciting to see the culmination of that hard work, watching friends at the starting line or on the court, knowing what they have done to get there. Read More...

Preparing for A Whirlwind Accessible Journey in Europe
February 21, 2012 :: By John Little
I am in the process of planning what will probably be the last 'big one' in Europe for my wife and I. As a 67 yo electric wheelchair user I am starting to feel the strain of these long trips with lots of destinations and the checkin/checkout/transfers that go with them. Besides I have a business that needs my attention and long periods of absence are not good for it. But I am almost there with the arrangements for this one and I thought I would share them and again about how it all went when we get back to Australia. Read More...

Accessibility on London Public Transportation

October 25, 2011 :: By Michell Haase

Transit for London, the governing body of the London Transit System, has made a tremendous investment in making trains and busses accessible and easy to use for all. Stations have been refurbished and new trains and busses have been purchased that provide space for wheelchairs. This is especially evident in East London, where the Olympics and Paralympics will be held in the summer of 2012. Many lines and stations are still under refurbishment in hopes of having a smooth transportation venue for the Games.

It was a lovely October day when I had the opportunity to meet with Rob Lott, the business representative for Calvert Trust Exmoor. He had tweeted an invitation to me about a month earlier when he learned that I would be on the other side of the pond. I immediately accepted. I had spent time at adaptive recreation centers in the U.S. and was excited to see what opportunities existed in the U.K.

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. Read More...
