[nagdu] our trip on the USS Intrepid August 9, 2010

[Toni Whaley]

Hello,

I've toured a submarine here in Philadelphia at the Seaport Museum.
However, I don't remember whether I took my guide dog or not. It is very
tight quarters. there was a lot of bendig over to get through portholes.
Come to think of it, I don't think my dog went with me. 

Toni

of course, I guess it didn't come out right, The Growler Submarine is a walk

through submarine and you know what it was like for them to live in tiny 
quarters, I didn't go through because the dog has to go through the small 
entrances which I don't remember what they are called and that you have to 
go through them. But what I meant to say that if you are in a wheelchair you

wouldn't be able to tour the submarine.  And it is outside of the Intrepid, 
so you do not have to do it.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
