[Blindtlk] Air Travel Tips

[David Evans]

Dear Sean,

I echo the same thing.
You just do whatever you need to do to get the job done.
I also draw the line at wheelchairs.  There is nothing wrong with my legs, 
just my eyes.  I can walk and if on a tight schedule, I get some help to 
guide me between flights.
Most of the time, I just get directions and follow the flow.
When I am not sure of just where I am at, I stop and ask directions again 
from that point.
There is no shame in asking for directions when lost or confused.
I travel all over and have traveled out of town and state 3 times since the 
Washington Seminar in January.  I will travel 6 more times between no and 
August and I will not be able to make the National Convention this year, but 
I hope to next year in Detroit.
