Accessible Florida
By Deborah Van Brunt
 Florida is a great vacation spot for travelers with mobility impairments! Sunny climate. Flat terrain. And outstanding access. You can find beach wheelchairs to enjoy silky sand beaches; roll-aboard pontoon boats for tours, fishing or snorkeling; adaptive golf carts on which you can swivel out and take your swing; and plenty of wheelchair friendly lodging from B&Bs to condos. And now, there's a source for finding it all! Wheelchairs on the Go: Accessible Fun in Florida is a great travel planner.
Wheelchairs on the Go is full of details for Florida's visitors who use canes, walkers, wheelchairs or simply can't walk very far. For example, you can find ride-by-ride access for each of Florida's theme parks. Lodging information includes width of doorways, height and size of beds, whether beds are on open frames and room numbers of those with roll-in showers. The location of wheelchair seating is included for concert halls, sports stadiums and more. The appendices list numerous resources for disabled travelers.
You can preview the book at www.WheelchairsOnTheGo.com. The 424-page paperback cost $24.95 USA; shipping is free to Canada and $10 anywhere else outside the USA.
