[Travelandtourism] For Members of Outside Agents, New Special Needs Group!

[cheryl echevarria]

I would like to elaborate as to why I didn't want Jana to post the link. Some might think it is just a social group. Outsideagents.com is a host agency that travel professionals like Jana and myself use. This is only for travel professionals that work with Outsideagents.com. If you try to get into it by following the link, you wont get into it. 
Anything that has to do with travel professionals and our booking engines or travel agent portals, that we use to book our clients, the consumers don't get access to that side of things.
We hope you understand.
Thank you again Jana for posting though.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
