As an accessible
man just out of college and ready to see the world, there are many things that
I know will be harder to do than others. My plan is pretty much the same as
everyone else’s which is seeing the world one place at a time so this summer I thought
I would start with America. I visited some places that were amazing and some
places that were, well, not so amazing. Since I was traveling with a few
buddies of mine (all classmates and I was the only guy in a wheelchair) I let
them know that I wanted to do what they did and I was going to record random
cities that I thought future readers would like to know that were accessible.
We contacted Wheelers Van Rentals and they almost instantly called us back and
gave us a pretty good deal for Wheelchair Van Rentals. Within a week they
picked us up in our home in Fort Worth (we requested their Fort Worth Wheelchair Van Rentals) in a pretty cool van that I had
never seen before with some pretty cool toys made specifically for the
accessible.
First Stop Dallas
Our first
stop was in Dallas due to the proximity of it and because if you haven’t been,
Dallas has a lot going on and activities round the clock for everyone. For
handicapped visitors wide-open spaces are usually pretty daunting and I didn’t want
to hold back my friends from doing what they wanted to do. I thought I would
miss out on a lot of fun but leave it to Dallas to have an activity for
everyone. Many tourists just like me visit Dallas every year and use Dallas Wheelchair Van Rentals to see
one of the Lone Star state’s biggest cities and get access to the remarkable
number of attractions that welcome guests on wheels. We’re all big sports fans
so we went to all the sporting venues that host special presentations from time
to time. We went during the summer but Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium is fully
wheelchair accessible inside and out.
San Francisco/Santa
Rosa/San Diego
Using
Wheelers Santa Rosa Wheelchair Van Rentals, San Francisco Wheelchair VanRentals and San Diego Wheelchair Van Rentals, we managed to drive over to Santa
Rosa and San Francisco due to it being such a close drive and none of us had
ever been to San Diego so we decided to check it out. San Francisco is such an
incredible city, so culturally diverse and though I’ve never been to Europe, it
seems to be the city that mostly resembles big cities in Europe. We got to
experience ‘the city’ (as locals call it) the way we never had before. We
visited Pier 39 which was probably the highlight of the trip there. We saw sea
lions, ate chowder in bread bowls and tasted California wines. Santa Rosa was
probably not as inspiring but was fun due to its serenity, green pastures and
beaches. It was fun because it was nice to be out of the city for a change and
get to see different sights. Being a huge peanuts fan as a kid I enjoyed
visiting the museum of Charles M. Schulz and reminiscing on my childhood. Our
last stop in Cali was in San Diego which is often referred to as ‘America’s
Finest City’ with its beautiful beaches and the always fun Sea World San Diego.
Vegas Baby
All the
rumors you’ve heard of Vegas are true and it is truly an incredible experience
that we suggest everyone visit at least once. Since it was our last major stop
before heading back home, we didn’t have as much energy (or cash) left over but
that didn’t stop us from having a good time. In a city that is synonymous with
gambling we just had to try some of it so we can brag back to our friends back
home. We also hit up a few museums, arcades and other entertainment venues that
kept us entertained during our 3 day stay. The van we got from Wheelers for our
Las Vegas Wheelchair Van Rentals was a 2013 Toyota Sienna. Wheelers picked us up
at the curb which is an added value they offer for no extra charge.
Our trip
was probably the most exciting thing I’ve ever done and hope to go on another
road trip later this year and after our experience, I’m almost certain we will
contact Wheelers again. Not only were their prices very reasonable but they
were also very nice and knowledgeable.
