Well, it’s just 3 weeks till I go on holiday to France. This is my first time away since being wheelchair bound. My daughter is doing all my personal care (a bit nerve wracking). We are staying in a French gite that is disability friendly and the owners are getting all the equipment in ie profiling bed with an airflow bed, hoist and shower chair.
I am a bit nervous about the journey, about 15 hours, but hopefully it’ll go ok and the holiday will out weigh the discomfort of the journey.
How exciting Jane. Lovely! Airport assistance is super and takes all the worry out of the actual flight journey. Where abouts are you staying? I’d love to go to France but my only options are Bordeux or Carcasonne from my nearest airport. Then getting to a smaller/quieter area over there seems like hard work. We never drive abroad.
I’m staying in Normandy, so northern France. We’ll be going ferry. Even though it’s a 5 hour crossing I am looking forward to that part. With The lovely wine there, I’ll have to make sure that I am not drunk in charge of a wheelchair X
I went on my own on a car ferry to Brittany a while back. I met some friends who were already in a gite and they helped me put my tent up. I wasn’t quite wheelchair bound then but I coped very well.
Have a great time; it’s a wonderful part of the world.
What a lovely picture. Newquay is gorgeous as is the whole of Cornwall. I feel very fortunate to live in a lovely part of the world.
going to France will make a welcome change and an opportunity to be with mt family plus just think of the wine, French bread and cheese that’ll be flowing!!! X
