I love to travel, and thank goodness so does my husband. We used to travel all the time before he had surgery, but since his operation, he can't stand or walk for long periods and we actually had to get a mobility sales rep in to show us some of our options for just getting him around the house. We have been able to adapt some things on our own, however we got him a power chair that has really helped him to be more independent again. I have been expressing to him that I would like to take a trip, however, he doesn't feel that the handicapped van that we have will make it on a road trip. He said we would probably have to rent a vehicle to travel in, however, neither of us were really sure if that was a possibility. I contacted a company called handicapped vans direct, and they let me know that they did have vans to rent for travel and such. I was relieved to hear that this was an option and I think that when I told my husband about hanicap vans direct, he was happy about it. We are really trying, both of us, to live a relatively "normal" life, like we used to before the surgery, but it hasn't been easy. I know that he really wants to be able to travel again and this wonderful company will afford us the opportunity to have some fun again. It has been a while. When a loved one is sick, you go through a lot, and now perhaps finally we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It would be really nice to cut a break and be able to get away for a while.

I think that it will serve us both to get out and have some fun. I am hoping that if our first few smaller trips go well, then in a year or so maybe we can take that big trip to Disney that we have been looking forward to doing. I know that at least they will have handicapped access to their parks, and will be able to accommodate my hubby, even with his wheel chair.
