Come pick up information and tips on traveling!  We will be holding a panel discussion on traveling for blind and visually impaired persons. Three experienced travelers will share their experiences and offer tips and suggestions to make traveling easier. Discussions are underway to add a fourth panelist who operates a travel agency specializing in travel for the blind.  This is also a chance to share some of your own travel experiences as there will be some open time for questions and discussion.
