We have only been back for a few days of our journey through 8. Europe when Louise said she thought that we could move to New Zealand next Christmas. It was then that I knew the travel bug had bitten. All we needed was a golden egg-laying goose Wholesale Authentic Jerseys , and we would be right. Fortunately for us one came along, and I know this is how to find a needle in a haystack for people with disabilities will be disabled for this unexpected, but we were lucky. But quite a few metaphors, New Zealand, it was great! Before we went, we asked people who have been where we must go. Almost all answered: "All is well." Not much help as we thought. Now we know that they were right!
There are many reasons why the Australian tourist disabilities should go to New Zealand. For starters, they speak English (well sort of. I have almost perfected my Kiwi accent, but the rest of the family forbade me 'prectising "in the car). This makes communication and understanding of our needs so much easier. New Zealand is so close to Australia Wholesale Jerseys , only 3 hours by plane, and therefore much cheaper than Europe. Even in high season rental cars, lodging and tourist attractions were much cheaper than in Europe in mid-winter. Although food and petrol was more expensive than Australia, they were still quite a bit cheaper than Europe, too.
As Tasmania there is a lot to see and do in a small area. In contrast to the rest of Australia, you do not have to drive hundreds of miles away from large "tourist spots" (in New Zealand around the tourist spot!) And this is indeed true that the majority of New Zealanders are extremely friendly and helpful.
What I thought a little harder than Europe, in some ways, but this was due to chronic progressive MS things worse Wholesale Authentic Baseball Jerseys , and it was a year later. Louise was right, though, it's a good idea to try these things while you still can. Before we begin it is important for those who are organized, to a trip abroad, but if you have a disability, it is important!
Here are some tips:
1. Make sure you have a lot of any medicines you may need. Never try to buy it abroad. This will be very expensive, or may not be available. Get a letter from your doctor and make sure that the airline is known. The needles are OK in the hold, but if you need to take them as hand luggage Wholesale MLB Baseball Jerseys , you will need to take special measures.
2. If you suffer from urine, for men, I would strongly recommend wearing leg bag, as it takes a lot of pressure trying to find a toilet in time. 3. You must also choose a good airline and inform them about your individual needs. We tried a number of airlines to reduce prices, and a few rickety baggage lifts and asphalt steps later, I can tell you it is not worth it! Contact the airline in advance to take steps for seating. In our opinion, the best place was right near the back of the toilet.
4. Almost all airlines will accept a wheelchair free of charge (which includes the electric ones). You need to come to the examination in a little earlier so that it is in the book and get a wheelchair for use at the airport. Ask staff to help you in this plane. This is an additional advantage to give you a quick check through customs. You can put in the "passage of stool, which is a narrow wheelchair to you at your place in the airplane Wholesale Baseball Jerseys , and you will see at first.
Unfortunately, this also means that you will be the last to disembark, but do not worry, with VIP service through customs you will be first in the luggage carousel! And ask staff to help all the way through to do it much easier and faster.
5. After the trip, if you are disabled, which is very important for customers in the future. Unfortunately, your days falling in the city and capture it to stay on the spur of the moment had passed. We started placing the order almost a year earlier, and the Internet is an excellent (and cheap) tool to do so. Do not rely on the 'wheelchair friendly' character Wholesale Authentic MLB Jerseys , because sometimes they were put there for no apparent reason.
Contact the owners directly by e-mail, and check the action, the space inside the building, doorway width of the safety rails, bath configuration, and accessibility in general. (In fact, I could write a book about the motel room, I have quite a list of practical suggestions to improve them for the disabled travelers!) In general Wholesale Majestic MLB Jerseys , I found that it is better to exaggerate, but do not belittle his level of disability. Thus, you are unlikely to ultimately is unusable.
6. Do you want travel insurance, if only to cover any medical care. We had to pay a little more to cover my "pre-existing situation, but it was not difficult to obtain. Most insurance companies will be happy to cover everything except your illness!
7. I bought the easy part collapsible electric wheelchair especially for travel. Fortunately, I bought it in early enough to smooth out ahead of some teething problems, and get used to it (through our house, which had been gradually destroyed my previous failures).
8. Louise began to swear at the wheelchair at the beginning of our journey Wholesale MLB Jerseys , as it is a relatively small battery began to take a charge, and I had to keep finding the points of power and wait for re-charging. In the future, we decided to take leadership in wheelchairs abroad. This is a much smaller place, and if you have someone to click, they will appreciate the show!
9. Do not forget people with disabilities parking pass, if you have one. We tried to get New Zealand, before we left through the CCS, but it did not eventuate. Thus Wholesale Jerseys China Free Shipping , we simply used our Australian label, and no problems at all. In fact, in New Zealand, you are unlikely to encounter problems with parking, even during the peak tourist season.
