Back in the Windy City for client meetings!

✈️ The MSP Airport has truly done a great job making the Minneapolis airport accessible- from chairs to golf carts to walkways to companion bathrooms - they take accessibility seriously!

Love the new Delta Sky Club - Minneapolis St Paul International Airport (MSP) at the end of the G concourse -it’s beautiful and spacious!

Got to enjoy a fabulous Italian meal at Mia Francesca in Wrigleyville with long-time friend Mary Pigatti Osberg ❤️. It’s all on one floor and restrooms are easy to get to. A wheelchair could fit but it would be really crowded.

Stay tuned for day 2! 🎉

People give Iowa grief but I’m here to say it’s GORGEOUS in the Fall! We explored the Quad Cities (Bettendorf and Davenport IA and Moline and Rock Island IL) this weekend. Most of it’s easy to navigate and full of great history, beautiful architecture and excellent food! (Full trip review coming soon!)

Day One - We stayed at the The Current Iowa in downtown Downtown Davenport, Iowa. Their skybar, skybar offers beautiful views of the Mississippi river and the food is great! We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at & Billy - highly recommend - go early, they don’t take reservations). Bonus! I saw my Aunt Dugan Goodrum!

We met up with my niece grussing and she showed us some of her favorite local spots, including gardens and ’s complaint department - super fun places in downtown !

We’re spending a long weekend in southern Iowa. First up - the University of Iowa to check out the college and mobility friendly hot spots! The campus is large and does have a lot of hills and concrete stairs but you can navigate it if you pay attention. The Graduate Hotel in Iowa City is in a great location for parents and grandparents who want a place that is close to restaurants, coffee shops and bars and easy to navigate. We enjoyed The Stuffed Olive for pre-dinner martinis and the sky top restaurant at the Hilton Garden Inn!

Day One in Denver was eclectic! We started with a trip to Meow Wolf, an immersive art museum where you “quantum time travel” - wonderfully weird! Then we went to Cherry Creek Mall, Denver for some birthday shopping for my daughter (Haul alert!). Finished the night at Venice Restaurante & Wine Bar at Denver Union Station! All accessible, all fun!

Sometimes the trips closest to home - like down the street to the neighborhood bar with your brother for the Vikings game - are the best trips of all 💜💛💜💛

Another great itinerary from Wonders Within Reach!

10/02/2024

My first "official" Wise Blue Yonder trip was an unforgettable trip to South Africa for a safari with my dear friends Jennifer Quinn Neuman and Joy.

🌅 It was epic! 🌅

Being within feet of some of the world's most beautiful - and most dangerous - animals had me awe struck. The Lodges we stayed at, MalaMala Game Reserve and Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve were five-star perfect!

If I am being honest, it was also difficult. 😯🫤

This was the first trip where I was consciously and acutely aware of all the obstacles that truly get in the way when I travel due to my mobility challenges. From the uneven walkways to the giant steps into the safari jeeps to the rough terrain everywhere, it was hard. Normally I laugh these obstacles away, determined not to let them get in the way of enjoying my travel experiences. But this time I couldn't. Because I was making it my job to be aware and to report on these experiences to build a mobility-friendly itinerary. It was the beginning of what has been an incredible journey and my dream to bring resources and travel support to the travelers with mobility in mind.

Of course, the guides, the staff, and my friends were all fantastic about helping me. I learned about MalaMala Game Reserve's accessible buggies and rooms, and they gave me a tour! (Definitely recommend them and our amazing guide Richard for all our Wise Blue Yonder followers!)

Anyway, I hope you find as much inspiration in these photos as I do! ☀️🐘🦬🦏🦓🦒☀️

And I hope, that one day you, too, get to experience an African Safari if you haven't already!
