Definitely like summer, and it's been a long awaited one too.
What is something you like to do in the summer?
I like to just enjoy the warmth. Spend time outside. Roller blade as much as possible.
Do you have any vacation plans? If so, where to?
My vacations are in September so still a while to go. We'll go spend some time with my partner's family, and no idea what else we'll do during the vacation. Time will tell.
How do you manage traveling with a disability?
It doesn't affect me that much, thankfully. Traveling on my own can be a bit tricky because communication isn't the easiest thing for me (being mute). But other than that, I guess the main issue is remembering everything and keeping things together. With serious memory problems it can get difficult at times, especially waking up at strange surroundings and such. So, a lot of planning is required before even going on a vacation, and then maintaining everything throughout the trip.
@OneErased
I can only imagine how hard it is when struggling with memory. I tend to not do well with the heat but summer is easier to control temperature than winter is for me.
@OneErased
Glad your looking forward to warmer temperatures. Rollerblading looks really fun but I think I'm a too unbalanced 😁 for that. Hope you have a magical vacation!. Ugh Memory problems do make things difficult.
Have a magical journey your friend Flute

What is something you like to do in the summer?
I like to sit inside where it's cool and watch cartoons with my friends.
Do you have any vacation plans? If so, where to?
No plans
How do you manage traveling with a disability?
I don't go alot of places, only way I go anywhere is either on foot or bicycle. And I never travel alone.
@ChildGoddessFlute
That is good safety to not travel alone
I like to be with my nephews, playing with water whether it's floaties or a water fight.
No specific plans but a relative moved and would like to go see them, also would like to see my parents.
With some of my allergies that were recently discovered travelling is even more complicated than before. Travel modes can be an HAE trigger, flying it's the air pressure changes and vehicle it's the vibrations. Plus just being cramped can lead to some stress on the body as well which is a trigger. Flying with icepacks and needles and things like that can be a little bit stressful. I find airport workers who direct before the actual screening don't really know all the rules. Like they have said no to icepacks when you actually get to the front of the security line it's ok.
With hotels I used to ask for a pet free room and towels, linens washed in scent free products. With how severe my contact dermatitis is to an ingredient in most detergents I have no idea how to manage something like that. It's one thing to bring my own pillowcase which I have done before as I find despite my request things tend to stay scented, but sheets, towels, etc. is a bit much, especially if flying.
@AffyAvo, wow! I didn't even think about all the ways flying and traveling could affect someone. I struggle mainly with pressure changes but thank you for opening my eyes to the many different adaptations people have to make. I hope one day traveling becomes less painful for you!
