22 Accessible Road Trips: Driving Vacations for Wheelers and Slow Walkers

This book is a must read for anyone who may need wheelchair access on vacation. The book is well written and has so many great tips. Thanks so much for writing this book.

Limited and inaccurate information. Lake Placid NY is NOT in New England. Specific New England Iconic Attractions were left out. Maps were limited. It was evident that the author did not have local knowledge of the areas on the East coast.

This is a great find. It is hard to read, as a book, but easy to follow as a guide. That's what matters.

juvenile. out of date often.

Very helpful and informative book about places to travel to with or without needing assistance/ it is amarvelous guidline.

We ordered this for a friend who has had a stroke and thought it would encourage him to try something new.

This book is a reasonable starting point for those vacationing with a wheelchair or mobility scooter, but lacks enough details to be the only guide used to plan a trip. 22 driving routes are sketched out, with a rough diagram of the main roads/highways involved, but no time estimates are given. Yes, the drives are meant to allow travelers to take their own sweet time, but it would be helpful to know if the route was intended to take 2 days or 10 to complete -- even mileage is left out. Also, no physical addresses are provided for any of the locations (only phone numbers and URLs), so you have to do some sleuthing before locating anything locally. Lastly, each destination generally has only 1 lodging place listed, and often describes one specific room. The specifics are helpful, but woe be two sets of travelers who seek the same lodging. Additional options and fleshed-out directions would have made this guide much more useful.

The author knows her topic firsthand and is also a first class journalist. I recommend this book for everyone who has mobility problems and for parents with little ones in strollers. It's an incredibly thoughtful gift for avid travelers who use wheels or other walking assists.
