Hello!
Every year my family for 22 years has gone to the beach for vacation. This year my husband (the one with ALS) at first would not let me plan or schedule anything. I finally have him over that and we are going through all the planning.
Here is what is in front of me - but I don't know what I don't know so any insites are welcome
1) we always go to Nags Head, N.C to beach so....
a) the houses are always 3 stories and stairs - well they arent our friend so I guess I now need to rent a house with an elevator
b) sand walking - ummm forget that . Jeff can still walk but with difficulty
c) fishing - he goes for the fishing I go for the beach swimming - how can he fish - left hand is useless - realing in ?
2) what are other good places to go understanding we want to be able to drive - so we are in central virginia and beaches are preference - we don't like hustle and bustle - lazy days in a hammock are the best - we have 3 kids - 21, 16 and 8
3) what should I NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED -
4) what resources are out there - like we usually only rent a 4 bedroom - but to get a house with elevator - those are usually the BIGGG ones - don't need and $3000 a week is cool - $7 to 10 thousand a week - is NOT cool ARE there websites or communities out there to help handicap rent spaces -
NEED YOUR IDEAS -
thanks all!
