20 msfocusmagazine.org MS Focus Activities Traveling with a disability can seem daunting. Before becoming disabled, you might never have concerned yourself about the height of a hotel bed, or whether a room had bathtub or a roll-in shower. You may have thought of an in-room refrigerator as a luxury in the past, but now consider it a necessity for refrigerated medications. Small differences in a hotel’s features can make a big difference to your level of comfort during your stay. Conventional travel sites offer little information about the accessibility features of hotels. That’s why MS Focus chose to partner with accessibleGO. This travel site offers detailed accessibility information for hotels, as well as a number of city guides and other resources for the disabled traveler. Travel Discounts Readers of MS Focus are eligible to join clubGO, the site’s discount program, which offers 10 to 60 percent discounts on hotels, resorts, and motels. Member prices beat conventional travel sites’ prices 93 percent of the time. Join clubGO as an MS Focus member by visiting clubgo.accessiblego.com/ms-focus.

Information Sharing You can also join the site’s travel forum to ask questions or share information and experiences with other disabled travelers. And after you travel, be sure to review your accommodations on the site. Sharing your knowledge, you’ll help others to have a great travel experience. Making Accessible Travel Easier with accessibleGO Kristin Witbrod: Don’t be afraid to take help from wherever you can. Use medical assistant devices when necessary to conserve energy. I put it off for so long because I was scared of being judged. Amanda Sherlock Pandolfino: It may not be easy, but your life isn't over. Everything will be alright! Sometimes you just need to redefine your “normal.” What do you wish you had known about MS when diagnosed?
