[nagdu] Traveling Advice

[Cindy Ray]

Well, I think each of us who has traveled a lot has a different way of dealing with it, or somewhat different. I think really that at the end of the day it is what ends uup making you the most comfortable. I don't think there are necessarily right or wrong answers on these kinds of questions. I was just expressing what I do, and I had hesitated to do that originally.

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.
