7 of the world’s best cities for accessible travel

fotografixx What makes a city truly accessible? It goes well beyond wheelchair ramps.

Happy Trails!

As you've probably figured out by the lack of posts here, we've retired from accessible travel blogging.

    Also--got a destination you want me to cover? A specific type of travel? Comment on the blog or here on LJ, and I'll do my best to hook you up.

    Let's wrap up Beach Week with a stadium by the sea. Today's Fields of Dreams post on The World on Wheels: San Diego's PETCO Park ranks as just a truly average stadium but on the West Coast that's good enough to be 2nd best: http://tinyurl.com/2bjfqcl
