It has been a whole year since I have been on a plane but I am so thankful that I took this calculated risk to get out of the cold weather. I share the challenges of traveling when disabled for a couple of reasons, the first being to remind able bodied people to help out when and where they can and to challenge others like me to take a chance to get out of your comfort zone. I can almost guarantee that the hassle of traveling is well worth the effort. Besides, it those of us with disabilities don't take full advantage of opportunities that others take for granted then there is no need to make the world accessible for us.
