Before our holiday to Spain this year, we organised our flights,… Continue reading Airport Apprehensions

Disability Education – Cross-Country Trains
Ignorance and unacceptable attitudes of taxis drivers, extends into the cross-country train service and their customers.

The first issue I noticed was with the assisted travel service at the stations. Those who are disabled or have… Continue reading Disability Education – Cross-Country Trains
Disability Education – Taxis
Vne thing that I struggle to do is journey out in public due to the distances I have to travel.

The Flights Home
We regretfully packed up and headed to Orlando International airport for the journey home. Returning the adapted vehicle and checking in we spoke to assistants about boarding the plane.

The following day after we visited Universal Studios and Diagon Alley we went to Island of Adventures. Compared to Universal Studios, this park is a much smaller. All of the rides and attractions were all compressed into a small space. This did have some benefits, everything was close by and easy to find. As… Continue reading Orlando Florida – Island of Adventures

Reaching the entrance to Diagon Ally, we knew… Continue reading Universal Studios – Diagon Alley

Orlando Florida
When we landed in Orlando and waiting to get off, we looked out the window and saw it was pouring down with rain. I was very disappointed as I was expecting sunny weather as it had been up until that point. But we arrived in the pouring rain, great, wonderful timing on our part. As… Continue reading Orlando Florida
