[Blindtlk] Question and meet the blind month with the NFB of NY

[cheryl echevarria]

We need to step back and laugh at ourselves, and also help one another.

We had a long day here in NY. The NFB of NY, and some members of the NJ Affiliate went on a cruse ship tour of the Norwegian Gem today.

We had an awesome time, the staff was great, we all were educated about a lot of things, they learned from us as well, and they implemented braille menus on the ship and will look to add to the rest of the fleet.

HArd work pays off, I have been working hand in hand with the cruise line, and they are working hard with us. We had a total of 18 people, 5 were sighted, one guide dog mine, the were a few that cancelled the last minute that had guide dogs, but there was suppose to be 4 in total.

I will write more about it for the braille monitor. But it was a busy day for us the blind and for us working with a company who is trying to make things better.
