Hi all,

My name is Laura and I've been writing about disability issues for about 25 years. I'm writing a few columns on accessible travel for Life In Action magazine. These columns are all about resources - the nuts and bolts of accessible travel.

I'm looking for wheelers who have been to either Southern California (current column) or New York City (future column) on vacation. I know lots of wheelers who live in SoCal, but I'm having trouble finding anyone who has travelled there for fun.

If you've been on vacation in either location in the last few years, and you would like to share some of your experiences, please send me a message through this forum and we can set something up.

Thank you very much!

Laura K.

Why limit yourself to SoCal and NYC ?
The world's a big place.
So many more interesting places!.....

Because those are my current assignments. We've already covered the Galapagos Islands, New Orleans, and cruises. Future columns will take in accessible European travel and Australia. After that, more topics.

But the two columns I'm working on now are... SoCal and NYC.

Hello, I'm a C6 quad and have been to San Diego twice in the last 8 years; both at the ends of cruises. It is a great city to get around in, whether street car, bus or street. Worth visiting.

Hi! I've been to SOCAL many times. I also went to school there, so am very familiar. I'd be happy to help.

Me and a partner (C4) went to New York. Would be happy to help if you're still looking for someone to talk to.
