Disabled People Travel

Shocking, I know, but disabled people do travel! Here's proof: 

Private Jet with Red Carpet Service

I got to go on a business trip last week. It was so much fun! We flew by private jet to California and stayed in an ocean-front hotel on Monterrey Beach. It was lovely to wake up and go to sleep to the sound of the waves. We went to see a jobsite, but while we were there, we did some fun team-building activities. We went on a walking wine tour (I didn't walk or drink, but...), an e-bike ride (that I could do!), and visited an indoor aquarium. It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a successful semester at college while building relationships with my coworkers.

Oh, and the food. My GOODNESS. We ate SO MUCH food! It was good food too. The company I work for spoils us. Every restaurant we went to had high-quality food and plenty of it. I thought for sure I'd not need to eat for a week, but I did get hungry again eventually. If I do that very often, I'm not even going to need a wheelchair. I'll be so round, I'll just roll everywhere I go like a giant beach ball. 

One of the things we got to do while we were there is help at a food bank. That was a surreal experience for me because a few years ago, I was down on my luck and living off food I got from a food bank. I was thinking, "Wow, my life has done a complete 360!" It's amazing how life has its ups and downs like that, and I'm really proud of the progress I've made. My determination to keep going forward no matter what has gotten me from that point to this, and I'm really proud of that. God is good to me, and He certainly does help those who are determined to not be kept small by their circumstances.
