Powerchair Charger
As I am planning a trip to japan next year and using a powerchair (permobil m5), I wanted to ask if it was possible to rent a charger (and if anyone has experience with that) for the chair in japan, as my charger only supports 115V 60hz and 230V 50hz (and ill be staying in tokyo so the frequency wont match as well). I plan to bring my own…

Hi,
I would be very surprised if a place just rented a charger (unless it broke mid-trip and they were doing it to help). Permobil has a Japan office with contact information at the bottom of the page you might want to try. https://permobilkk.jp/
You could also possibly get a step up/down converter. But they are big and heavy… *some*…

Also just asking as you already responded to me, do you know any hotels where the bed is high enough for a hoist (without solid frame) that are averagely priced? Because the fotos on the accessible japan site are not that great for estimating if the beds have a solid frame.

Celebrity Cruise
Hi there! I am not mobility challenged, but my future BIL is. He is a paraplegic in an electric wheelchair. We are looking at doing a cruise to Alaska for our wedding, and I’m trying to find out if Celebrity is a good, mobility friendly cruise line. I BELIEVE the ship would be the Celebrity Edge, which I think is the Ocean line? I’m new…

Hi –
I have multiple sclerosis and need to use a scooter to get around. My wife and I did a land/sea Alaska cruise several years ago on Princess and they were great. A lift was used to get me on and off the very comfortable train, which took us from Anchorage to Denali Park. A two days later we continued on it to the dock in Whittier. The train…

Reply to Boston/San Antonio with Power Chair on Southwest
Hey, I’ve got a buddy who’s flown Southwest a bunch with his Pride Quantum (similar Edge model)—first time can be nerve-wracking, but they’re super accommodating.
