My Three Favorite Cities in California

As an accessible frequent traveler I need to know beforehand that the places I visit will be up to par with the standards I require and by that I mean that my presence will not be a burden and I can do things on my own. My mom and I recently came back from California and for those of you international readers (who have most likely heard of California) it the most populous U.S state home to one out of eight people who live in the U.S home to 38 million people. It is recognizable by it being the state where the city of Los Angeles is, Disneyland and Malibu.  But I was sure to stay clear of these places mostly because I’ve already been and because I’ve heard great things about San Francisco and San Diego. I’m aware of how far they are from each other but thanks to Wheelers Van Rentals and their California Wheelchair Van Rentals, we were able to fly out to California from New York and be picked up at the airport by a pretty cool almost brand new accessible van.

Santa Rosa, California

Our trip started by getting picked up in Sonoma County Airport by a very nice guy named John which handed us the keys. We just solicited Wheelers Santa Rosa WheelchairVan Rentals service and went to visit some old friends of my mother’s and stayed with them for a few days. I was quite hesitant mostly because it wasn’t one of the places I wanted to go but turned out to be a pretty cool city. Being a huge fan of Snoopy and Charlie Brown as a kid I was ecstatic to find out that Santa Rosa is actually the birthplace of Peanuts creator, Charles M. Schultz and they’re really proud of this too. There is a “boutique” style museum dedicated to the creator of Peanuts and his work over the years. It features his work and activities for kids not to mention a look back at his early work before Peanuts. Another positive note is that it is directly adjacent to Peanuts Themed Redwood Empire Ice-Arena which is a fun place for kids and adults of all ages.

San Francisco, California

Our next trip was an hour away and was to the ever popular hipster capital of the world (no offense, you guys are great) of San Francisco. We used the same vehicle but in case you’re in San Francisco you can just contact Wheelers and ask about their San Francisco Wheelchair Van Rentals which was on special at the time. San Francisco was a little more fun and it provided many more attractions but my favorite was hanging out on Pier 39, eating clam chowder, lobster and catching a Giants game. Pier 39 is the most popular destination within San Francisco being home to numerous restaurants and to all you animal lovers out there, you’ll be happy to hear that there are sea lions. Also, if you’re accessible and looking to visit “The City” (I suggest you call it that when you go and not anything else) it’s good to know that transportation in this city filled with hills is almost all accessible which means getting around is not an issue.

San Diego, California

It took us almost 9 hours to arrive to San Diego but the calm winds and pristine beaches made it instantly worth the long trip. San Diego has its famous ‘Big Bay’ and ‘Sea World San Diego’ as its main attractions but there are other things to do as well that may be of your liking. There are Pandas at the San Diego Zoo, Whale Flukking and visiting a good amount of small time breweries. San Diego has a wide variety of accessible activities from the accessible Legoland to the educational museums of Balboa Park.
San Diego attractions keep visitors coming back for more and it’s no wonder why it’s known as “America’s Finest City”. All of these activities attract both children and adults of all ages to this amazing city where they get to see exotic animals from all over the world.

The state trip like the one we went on is a good way for you to bond with loved ones and even get to know yourself. We may all be Americans but in every state you get to see different cultures and traditions that come with the region. This was all possible thanks to Wheelers Van Rentals. With their yearly specials and constant state specials you know that you can count on them for all sorts of cross-country travel. Wheelers offers Santa Rosa Wheelchair Van Rentals, San Francisco Wheelchair VanRentals, San Diego Wheelchair Van Rentals but outside of California they offer their services in all 50 states and plan to have an office in every major American city in the not so distant future.
