Does anyone have a recommendation on travel companies/groups that offer vacations specifically for people in chairs, or is there even such a thing? I guess I'm looking for vacations where there is help for the care givers. Sometimes the care giver can be overwhelmed if the person in the chair can't assist in luggage carrying and organization. As an example I'm in an electric chair and need to lug around a 10-15 pound recharger when I go on vacation, plus my sliding board and personal supplies needed in carrying for me. The person I go with can easily return from the trip more exhausted than when we first left.

The next part of this question may pertain more to quads but is there such a thing as vacations for the disabled that allows the normal care giver to stay behind? It would be a respite for both the disabled person and care giver. There would have to be a CNA type person available for those traveling to care for dressing, toileting, and etc.
