[Travelandtourism] Tips for traveling with my cane

Glenda: 

Thank you for posting. But the best thing we can do is ignore bullies and if
we keep feeding them they will keep on. David Andrews is watching and
listening, and if we stay polite and respectable, then he will just be
removed, he is causing other lists the same issues.

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.

I disagree, attending National Convention is one of the most exciting and
independence building experiences of my life. I have never felt that I was
being told what to think. My individuality has always been respected by my
NFB family. We are a division of the NFB and should be respectful when
posting.
