Being someone who is a travel professional and a guide dog user. I am here to help and not to be jumped upon for helping.

It is getting very tiring to post something and then get ripped about for doing so.

I purposely went into this field to help others like ourselves.

I will be sitting in the wings, but very concerned about posting things again, I have left 2 other NFB lists, because of the rudeness of others on them.

Let us all remember we are all in the same boat here to help each other and not to be rude.

Thank you.

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

  There is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion and I like you take
  serious reservation and contemplation before responding with my opinion for
  fear of getting more then I bargained for. i however will go out on a limb
  and say that I prefer to sit in bulk head and also like to alert hotels and
  such to the presence of my guide so he will not be a complication for house
  keeping, or let me say a surprise in the event I leave him in the room. I
  have yet to have any complications or refusal of service ever.

  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.

  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.
