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.

You give up many things that you take for granted when you become disabled, but, with the help of this book, traveling doesn't have to be one of them. The editors make it easy to plan an out of town trip by letting you know some of the obstacles you will find on your travels. By knowing them in advance, you are better prepared to handle them calmly rather then letting them frustrate you and ruin everyone's trip.This guide gives me confidence to go places that are new and not worry on what I will find when I arrive.
