Just wanted to give my own two cents for what it's worth. I know that ALS patients progress at different rates and many travel well after becoming disabled, but in my friend's situation this is not the case. Six months after being diagnoised and he is entirely too fatigued to make any trips (and enjoy them).
I just wanted others to know that if they find themselves in that same situation - newly diagoised and dreaming of places they still want to see - GO! Don't worry about the logistics/ legal/financial/ boring household junk - take that weekend or week and GO and enjoy it while you can. If you get the chance to travel again and again for years to come, GREAT! But if you find that you can't as time goes on, at least you won't have missed the opportunities to do and see the things you wanted to.
