22 Accessible Road Trips por Candy Harrington
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This book provided an excellent overview of the issues someone with accessibility problems would face when travelling--parking, walkability, ramps, etc. I would be concerned about how well it will hold up over time, as these sorts of things are constantly changing.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This is an excellent travel book for depth of itinerary, planned routes and detail. The focus is on access, which is for those with mobility impairment, however I found this was important when I broke my leg in 2012, kids slow you down and so does age. Anyone who wants to get out and enjoy historic and natural landmarks would benefit from this book. Its only lack was color pictures which would have added so much to the text.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.The book did very well of covering the United States and found the trips were well rounded for all interests. While not acquainted with all the excursions, I found the ones I was familiar with were well planned.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I received this book through Early Reviewers. After I realized it would be impossible for me to give a true review, I loaned it to a friend with Parkinsons who was doing a cross country trip by plane and car.
After some time, he reported to me this was an excellent resource and one that helped him make travel decisions based on his need for a walker.
