[nabs-l] Air travel an advise required

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good evening, Siddhi,
         While I don't believe in restricting anybody from boarding 
an airplane, or any other conveyance, it would seem to me  your trip 
unfolding more seamlessly if you were to inlist some help from, say, 
Ol'Sighty, anywhere. It is my belief that, Ol'Sighty's often 
pointless, and in many cases arbitrary measurements of us are in 
fact, based on the ends to which you arrive, not the means you 
happend to use to get there. So, I don't think they care how the 
blink goes about arriving at a particular end. Take this example. I 
believe Ol'Sighty will be impressed to see us flying period, not that 
we might have completely "independently" boarded the plane, and found a seat.
I tend to believe that the person who gets to lead you to your seat, 
while you are holding your cane and interacting with you,  is bound 
to find more of an education about blind people's capabilities and 
potentials than watching the blink bumble around, groping for 
everything, of course, "independently."
for today, Car
