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.
