[nagdu] Amusement Parks was RE: New Member Intro

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi Tonia,
I have been to Amusement parks with my dog in the past.  I live fairly close
to a big one here in Cincinnati, called Kings Island. Since it is pretty
close to where I live, I just leave Pascal home for the day. Some parks do
have kennels on the property where you can board the dog for the day. We did
that a few times with our pet dogs while traveling.
When I was in Orlando for the NFB Convention last year, I did take Pascal to
Universal Studios for the day. It was too hot, and we both were miserable
after a few hours. I don't think I will take him there again.
Deanna and Pascal

Hi Jenny!  Oh, I'm sure I'll be full of questions.  In fact, I already have
a couple but they'll have to wait until later; because it's about bed thirty
right now, for me.  I love amusement parks too; especially roller coasters.
I haven't been there since I was a teen but Cedar Point is still my all time
favorite park.  So, that brings up a new question I hadn't thought of.  I
guess it would be best to leave the dog at home for a trip to an amusement
park, huh?

Sweet dreams,

Tonia

Hi Tonya,

I used to live, even for a short time, in Belleview, Ohio.  

I also went back and forth to a little town, if you'd call it that, that I
don't know the name of, but I lived in a big farm house in the middle of
corn fields.  Yuck.

Neither place had transportation for the disabled.  Belleview only had one
cab.  that was it.  I don't think it even had paratransit.  

I don't think Sandusky has paratransit, but I could be wrong.  

I have it in my wish list to go to Seater Point before I die, I'm the
biggest adrenaline junky you'll ever meet.

to make this dog related.  I'm between dogs now.  I finally don't have to
use either a wheelchair or walker after fracturing my leg crossing a street
here in Rockford Illinois where I live with my Husband.  
I don't have permission yet to go out on the sidewalks, as they are horrible
here, so no fixed route transit for me yet.  But when I get it, I'm going to
start walking around the mall in laps to build up my stamina and pace to do
a proper Juno walk, as I have had to put my application at my chosen school
on hold.  

I'm doing physical therapy though, so one step at a time.  

Welcome to the list.  Never feel as though any question is too small or
stupid.  We were all there once.
