Wheelchair Around the World
Patrick and Anne Simpson had a not so uncommon dream to travel the world upon their retirement. A major obstacle had to be crossed before this dream could become a reality. Anne, debilitated by a rare joint disease, would be confined to a wheelchair for much of their journey. Wheelchair Around the World is the heartwarming and inspiring account of a couple living out their dream. <P>Patrick and Anne have paved the way for other physically challenged travelers. This book undoubtedly will entertain armchair and wheelchair travelers alike, who will get a sense of these faraway places through Simpson's firsthand accounts. The book also includes several appendixes and an extensive bibliography, intended to help other physically challenged travelers plan their own trips, with foreknowledge of wheelchair accessible facilities, hotels, and transportation.Used $15.75 | Buy Now | View Similar Products
I saw this book at the NC Writers Network conference.
At the NC Writer's Network conference, I saw others pick up this book, published by Pentland Press, and found that they were just as intrigued as me by the fact the book offers a new glimpse of travel in a very difficult fashion. The book offers hope and sound advice for the senior traveler as well as a profound wealth of knowledge for the young traveler based on the experiences supplied by this couple who love travel. Each and every part of the book exmplifies their love for adventure and travel. I hope to see more writings by this author.
