I can't for the life of me remember which airlines I flew when I went to Amsterdam. I'm pretty sure it was either Delta, American, or United. I think any airline would be fine.

And I was wondering, what do you mean by "medicinal supplements"?

I believe the museum of Torture (or something like that) was inaccessible as well... I know I didn't go, but I can't remember if it was because of accessiblity, or lack of time.

The big art museum (can't think of the name right now) was accessible. I didn't have much trouble with accessibility for shops, restaurants, hotels, and cafes. I mean there were some that I couldn't get in, but there are so many that it wasn't hard to find accessible ones.

Honestly, I don't remember a whole lot from those trips. I don't smoke anymore though. I'd like to go back someday and maybe come back with more memories.

ezconrad,

Taking a train may not be so easy without extensive prior planning. The Deutsche Bahn will aid you in getting your train transfers right, but you must notify them at least one day in advance and have your routes and times pre-planned out. Not every train station is acessable and stairs are still quite the enemy. As for flights, you will have to be choosey when flying within Europe. My wife just flew to Amsterdam this past weekend with KLM on a hop from Nurenburg to Amsterdam and she flew on a twin-engine prop job. It is very difficult to get on board some of these small propeller aircraft, so make sure when you choose your flight you find out what type of aircraft it is or phone the airlines ahead and ask them which flight would be the best and most comfortable one for you. By the way, if you have spare time and want to visit us in our PT practice, check out some gait training and so on, send me a message. Carecure members are always welcome. We live in Weiden. Iīm sure your relatives know where it is. Good luck!

PS: donīt take any of that "medication" back over the boarder!
