Links to similar accessible travel resources:
It's hard to plan a vacation when you have accessibility concerns. Disabled travelers are virtually ignored by mainstream travel websites, even though we make up a big part of the market. The best information to be found are sites that are created for and by people with disabilities. Here are some websites that I've found:
gimponthego.com: This is one of the most professional, user-friendly sites I've found. It's more of an in-depth travel journal.
theworldonwheels: This website has a ton of reviews (17 states and several other countries) and includes specific budget information as well.
wheelchairtraveling.com: This site has trip reviews - many for California - and lots of great photos. There's also a link to a blog. therollinggourmet: This is an extensive list of restaurants in New Hampshire, rated for accessibility.
blue-path.com: A directory of businesses committed to accessibility, focused on the Pacific NW.
travability.com: Travability has a list of suggested destinations, a social network and traveling tips. In addition, they offer travel services from itinerary planning, flight and hotel bookings, attractions, hire cars or vans (with hand controls if required), cruising holidays, private yacht charters and fully escorted group tours.
abilitytrip.com: Boasts accessibility information in more than 20 US states as well as other countries.
