 Fodor's
Great American Vacations for Travelers With Disabilities (2nd Ed)
by Donna Cornacchio (Editor), Anto Howard (Editor)
Editorial Review (Amazon.com):
America is finally opening up to people with disabilities. Thanks
to legislation and evolving perspectives, there's been a welcome
burst of growth both in the attitudes and construction needed to
make the U.S. more hospitable. Fodor's Great American Vacations
for Travelers with Disabilities rides the wave of momentum and
adds to it, as more and more disabled travelers take the vacations
they've been wanting. Fodor's guide covers 38 locations across the
U.S., providing basic guide information in appealing prose on
where to stay, eat, sightsee, play, hike, snorkel, and barhop,
plus detailing access information for people with mobility
problems and hearing and vision impairments. It's clear from the
start that a lot of care has gone into making this a quality
production, and it's reassuring to know that each site was checked
out personally by someone who understands disability concerns |
