Reply To: ITALY? Yes you can!! 🙂
Greetings,
I was just hired (on contract) by a company in Boulder, CO. USA (just outside Denver, CO.).
I was hired with the understanding that I would not be traveling to customer sites.
However, I was asked what it would take to get me to Italy for two weeks of training. This scares me to no end.
I have many questions about getting there but assuming I can get to Rome (Rauma), can you schedule me transportation from the hotel to the training office and back again? From the airport to the hotel?
Can you recommend a hotel that has good accommodations for people in wheelchairs?
What kind of daily costs would I incur?
The office address is Via Aurora 27 00013 – Fonte Nuova, Italy. If there is a hotel a mile or less away, I could probably just drive my power chair to the office.
Thanks for your help!
