101 Accessible Vacations: Travel Ideas for Wheelers and Slow Walkers is the first guidebook dedicated exclusively to wheelchair-accessible destinations, lodgings and recreational opportunities. Penned by Candy B. Harrington, the editor of Emerging Horizons, this new title focuses on the vacation planning needs of wheelchair-users and slow walkers. 101 Accessible Vacations contains destination information on over 101 cities, lodging options, national parks, tourist attractions and recreational activities around the country. The book is organized so readers can search for a holiday based on their specific interests or travel styles. Unlike other guidebooks that are organized geographically, 101 Accessible Vacations includes sections ranging from Road Trips and The Great Outdoors to Historic Haunts and Cruisin. And last but not least, there is Candy's Picks, which includes a collection of some of the author's favorite trips, destinations and activities. Candy describes the access of all attractions, lodging options and tourist sights, rather than just stating that something is or isn't accessible. After all, accessibility is in the eye of the beholder; and what may be accessible to one person can be filled with obstacles to someone else. Says Harrington, There's a world of travel choices out there for wheelers and slow walkers. And this book contains many of those choices; along with updated resources, information and access details to make them a reality.

The National Parks of the U.S. are some of the most sought-after travel destinations in the world. But a visit to any one of them may seem daunting to someone with hearing, seeing, or other physical challenges.

One of the worlds great cities, Florence is visited by over six million tourists each year, yet, despite some recent improvements in accessibility, the Cradle of the Renaissance still presents significant barriers. Imagine lunch in an outdoor caf, soaking up the warm September sun, where do you find an accessible restroom? Where to eat in a country whose main staples are bread, pizza, and pasta if you have an intolerance to wheat gluten? In which museums can you touch a Renaissance sculpture if you are visually impaired? Need to rent a wheelchair or find which museums have them on loan? Locate an accessible hotel with a roll-in shower? Find out if your power wheelchair will fit in the elevator of the Uffizi? Or discover the wheelchair-accessible paths in the Boboli Gardens? Reading A Guide to Accessible Florence, an indispensable resource written especially, but not only, for wheelchair or scooter users and slow walkers, will give you the answers to all these questions and to many more.
