great guide!!!
for Universal, I would recommend adding some time for the shuttles since I had to wait 20-30 min each time so it’s not too easy to bounce back and forth.
Also, I used a guest pass for their paratransit, and getting signed up for it was pretty easy since my state sent them paperwork saying that I am signed up with them. However,…

I went there in high school for a graduation trip with my parents and very likely annoyed my parents by wanting to visit places and venues mentioned in the songs of West Coast punk and ska bands… this inspires me to go back and do more grown up sight seeing 😛

Catalina Island - Cruise Port Stop / Day Trip
https://youtu.be/0tmTtAJooks?si=K9yJjtdddrblzEn-
Attached is my vlog from a day in Catalina Island in California! After hearing about it first in the movie Stepbrothers, I was intrigued (lol). A lot of this vlog is a golf cart tour which may not be the most accessible for all. However, I show around the town after and most stores were…-
Thanks! It wasn’t until recently that I learned California had any islands that people lived on, after finding out about it, I have been wanting to visit Catalina!
Is that where the salad dressing is from??

Celebrity Cruises is building two accessible river ships for 2027-2028
Celebrity are launching Celebrity Compass in 2027 and Celebrity Seeker in 2028, and from what’s been announced they’ve gone well beyond the usual “one adapted cabin and call it done” approach.

- Flush thresholds in restaurants and lounges, plus lowered sections at bar and guest relations counters
- A motorised outdoor…

ooh this is a great thing to read! I have heard hit or miss things about accessibility on river cruises but never did a deep dive on the research

Cool, my parents went on a while back and commented on the accessibility not being as great as big ocean faring ships. I love the idea of solving the issue with technology, not just giving up.
Air Pump
My wheelchair tires take 120 psi. Can I get them ‘topped up’ in Japan easily or should I bring my pump ? Gas stations, etc. in Canada only go to 100 psi.

I’m not sure what my tires take (I use an Invacare power wheelchair), and Japan uses kPA instead of PSI, but I have filled up my tires at bicycle shops many times here. They are very kind and do it for free. There are also tonnes of them, so you shouldn’t need to search very hard.
Many shops like Donki have cheap pumps for sale as well if in…

I use a manual wheelchair and plan to take my USB chargeable tyre pump, its called a ‘Fumpa Pumpa’ mini. My tyres are around 110 psi.
Although, the fumpa is a usb battery re-chargeable and not a manual pump so I’ll probably need to check it can be packed into luggage. Its only about half the size of an iPhone so easy packing.

Has a hotel ever refused your lithium wheelchair?
There’s a story going around about a hotel in Australia refusing to let a guest bring her lithium-powered wheelchair into her room, citing fire risk. They stored it in an outside shed overnight.
Has anyone here run into this at a hotel? Airlines have clear rules for lithium chairs, but hotels seem to make it up as they go. Curious whether this is…
