I hope everyone is enjoying Spring and letting your thoughts drift to what you're going to do this summer or even ahead to the holidays. We are always available to answer your vacation questions and help you plan amazing trips. My plans include escorting a group to Alaska end of June and attending the Houston Abilities Expo in August. Late summer will find me in Europe with 36 of you on a Western Mediterranean Cruise. Now it's your turn to make some plans. We would love to help!

LET'S GO TO A LUAU!

We are so excited about our December trip to the Hawaiian Islands and want all of you to join us on this incredible adventure. Most of us will meet in San Francisco (enjoy a day or two there if you like) and board Virgin America's aircraft with accessible bathroom. No, this is not a typo....I said an accessible bathroom!!! How cool is this?

Arrive in Honolulu on December 7 and enjoy three nights at the Waikiki Marriott. You will be within walking/rolling distance to shopping and restaurants. The next two days will be filled with excursions to Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center. On December 10 we will board NCL's Pride of America which has just undergone a 400 Million Dollar Enhancement. To read about everything that was done just click here....

Cruise with us in your accessible stateroom and visit Maui, Kauai, Hilo and Kona and enjoy fully accessible shore excursions planned just for us.

Just a brief update on my medical condition. I feel fine and am keeping very busy with work. My incision is still slow to heal so not ready for another prosthesis yet but I am getting out and about in my manual wheelchair for now. I'll be taking my first airplane ride and trip as a bilateral amputee this coming week as I head to the Abilities Expo in Edison, NJ. I'll practice what I preach to all of you...I can do this, just a little differently!

Using a Cell Phone on a Cruise

Clients are always asking me about using their cell phones on the cruise ship. You really need to contact your service provider to fully understand what you can and cannot do unless you don't care about coming home to an astronomical cell phone bill. I've always just put my phone into airplane mode as soon as the ship is ready to sail off into the sunset. This allows me to take photos but not make or receive calls. However, technology is getting better all the time so here is some great advice about using cell phones on board Royal Caribbean cruise ships.
