As you've probably figured out by the lack of posts here, we've retired from accessible travel blogging. However, we will still maintain the list of Northern California wheelchair accessible trails and there's still a ton of content on our site that will stay as an archive. It's been fun and rewarding. We'll still be traveling but will no longer be posting about our travels.Happy Accessible Trails to you all!www.musickchannel.com

Wow, pretty bad - and surprising, given that Air Canada is the flag carrier for a country whose brand is in part humaneness and progressiveness. But apparently it´s finally provoking some changes. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/travel/news/bc-man-who-spoke-out-against-...

A recent survey of U.S. disabled travelers put Vegas at the top of the national list in terms of accesibility. Judging from my last two visits, I can't say I'm surprised.https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/2023/02/06/disabled-travel-ac...

Airlines Need To Figure Out How To Take Care Of Wheelchairs — Now

"I pushed the button on the battery-powered component of my wheelchair. It didn’t work. Before starting to panic, I pressed it again. Nothing."

The delays, cancellations, and other travel chaos we've been seeing this year has, unsurprisingly, hit disabled travelers especially hard, and Forbes recently came out with a piece about that, as well as what some sectors of the industry are doing to improve the situation for the disabled: https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinecasey/2022/09/05/toxic-travel-...
