Vacations for families with a handicap child?
sleepy0043@sbcglobal.net asked:


my family and I always go to the same places for vacation because i have a brother who is in a wheel chair. We wanted to go some place different like Hawaii or something fun like that but it is hard because of my brother. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any travel places that specialize in planning vacations for people who have disabilities? All different types of places including other countries are options for us.

A little info about him: he is 17 , in a wheel chair and has cerebral palsy.

so if anyone has any ideas or knows of a website or a travel place that specializes or can help us plan a trip for next year that would be great.

What is your opinion on volunteer vacations?
peach_blossom24 asked:


There are more and more organizations popping up offering “volunteer vacations” where one goes and volunteers their time and skills in usually a foreign country. Aside from Habitat for Humanity or Doctor’s Without Borders, I would very much like to know anyone’s experiences with organizations like those. I get the sense that these “programs” are no better than one going out there on their own and spending less money for the same or better benefit of the particular community. In mind I have particular organizations that are bad at organizing any volunteer work and worse at providing adequate funding. I just would like to know if there are people with first hand experience who truly believe that the organizations they vacationed with were very beneficial.

How far in advance do you usually begin to plan and book your vacations?
BlackCup asked:


As the title states, how far ahead do you personally begin to start planning and booking your vacations? Do you book as early as a year ahead, or more like 6 months?

Thanks

Have you cut down on planned vacations due to rapidly rising costs?
questioner asked:


The average cost of gasoline has gone up to $4.10 a gallon on street and the cost of rental cars, hotels, airline tickets, etc are going up faster than my salary increase. The result is something has to give and I have to cut back. So instead of one long summer vacation I am going on one short trip (long weekend).

I suspect other people are no longer able to afford the nice vacations they use to go on and the result is less money will be spent at hotels, amusement parks, museums, tourist attractions and airline.
