San Francisco, California

    These warmer than normal temperatures have brought on major spring fever! We are trying to keep those thoughts at bay by looking to the city on the Bay: San Francisco! While this city is quite small, there is plenty to take in, to see, and to do!  Its well known hilly landscape does make getting around a bit of an adventure, but we have tips on navigating in our blog (below).  You can also take a look at our San Francisco Accessibility Guide for further guidance! 

 

     Another adventure awaits with our First Annual Spina Bifida Young Adult Enrichment Cruise! Many cabins have already been booked, and we would love to have you join along! To book your cabin, and for more information, check out our cruise information guide.  We are hoping to plan more TravelinWheels travel retreats in the future! Stick around!

West of the river Tagliamento, the last great natural Alpine river, south of the Wildlife Oasis of the lagoon of Marano which make it even more special, so much so that Ernest Hemingway, an enthusiastic visitor to the town, called it "Italy's Florida " and described it in his novel" Across the River and Into the Trees."
