My dream to travel

Now when I finally have been sick-retired after 22 useless years because of my disability I have all time in world to travel where I want. I have always dreamt of travel to USA or any country in europe but I am airsick and that´s a problem I have to fight with. It´s also very hard to travel with helping aids like walkers or other stuff. I have red true stories about disabled people that have got their helping aids completely destroyed. Another guy that also had a disability and had to use electric mobility scooter that cost 300 000 swedish crones...it was completely destroyed and also his wheelchair.

I have only flewn once to Brighton in England but that was many years ago. I have red on the Net that you have the right to stay in USA and some other countries for ninety days without having a GreenCard. Ninety days is 3 months and thats a long time. My dad, my brother and my sisters son have been to USA but I myself have never been there. I have been to Switzerland, France, Scotland and Denmark many years ago but never outside EU.

You can get a Visa waiver called an ESTA on line. Of course, the cost of those is in the process of going up. To get around in that time you might consider the rail network. Something I always planned, but never got to. Websites are available with all the details..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Thanks for this but many trains have a limit how big the helping aids has to be, and if they are bigger than the recomended you cant take it with you. Its very hard being disabled nowadays.

@Mathias In the states, the ADA (legislation) could help, but it can be slow to enforce.

Write a CEO a letter and ask for pefsonal intervention and advice.

It will get passed down, but with the request from the CEO, it can help.

And if no reply, bring that email to the media....

@Neoerectus @Neoerectus Thanks do you mean this https://www.ada.gov/

@Mathias Yes, but with the current administration it will be near worthless for awhile....
