[nagdu] Traveling Advice

[Cindy Ray]

I never let the airlines know, nor do I notify a hotel, that I am bringing a guide dog. Now, sometimes if someone else is making my reservation, they do that, but I encourage them not to. Soon as they even say I'm blind they feel they have to put me next to the elevator, and that is often noisy. Also, I don't prefer the bulkhead seating. They aren't all created equal. And another thing. They often want to make sure I have the double seat to myself. I prefer to really, but I am concerned when they make sure I get it because I don't want people thinking it is a requirement. Fisher can make himself smaller. LOL.
