I just took a look at those prices they are a lot of money for a sighted 
person it is aleat $1500 less for them it is for us.

example:


Gran Canaria Sunburst

for a sighted per it is for a sighted person for 8 days is $1100 and a 
blind/vi person is $1885 why in the world would someone advertise they 
specialize in helping the blind/visually impaired and then charge more for 
us that doesn't make sense.
