[nagdu] Traveling Advice

[Cindy Ray]

Whether it works or not seems to be a day-to-day thing for me. That is, the help. I often do ask for help because the change to a new flight is needing to be done more quickly than I can do it by trail and error. Lately, though, I've been checking it out, and if it is close enough that I can get directions that work, I take that option and ask along the way if doubts arise. And sometimes that just depends on how adventurous I'm feeling that day.

Like if I am going to a conference and I need materials emailed to me in advance I will of course tell them that I'm blind.  I have never informed a hotel ahead of time.  I haven't given advanced notice when flying either, but when I got to the first airport they made some sort of note in the computer, changed my seating and set up someone to meet me at each gate.  I don't think I would have minded so much if this had actually been of help, but it turned out to be a gigantic disaster.
