UNC-Pembroke led 3-0 with 15 minutes to go when the Falcons broke loose scoring three goals in seven minutes to tie th game and set the stage for Harris' game winner in overtime.
The first half was a midfield battle. Both defenses played solid and neither team could maintain possession for any length of time.
At halftime it was 0-0 as each team had only two shots.
The second half was a whole different ballgame. UNC-Pembroke came out on fire and scored three goals in the first eight minutes to take a commanding 3-0 lead.
Thomas Morrow took a pass from Andrew Brown and put a shot into the right corner of the goal to give Pembroke a 1-0 lead less then two minutes into the half.
One minute later Brown scored to give Pembroke a 2-0 lead.
Another Brown to Morrow pass lead to the third goal five minutes later as the Braves grabbed a 3-0 advantage.
The Pembroke defense had been running an offsides trap all game and with fifteen minutes left the Falcons started timing their runs right and an offensive explosion occured.
In the 76th minute Mario Garcia sent a pass to a breaking Matt Harris who calmly slid the ball under the charging goalie to give Pfeiffer their first goal of the game.
Less then two minutes later Renato Barbosa tok a Davi Lorenzo pass and scored from eight yards out as the Falcons cut the Pembroke lead to 3-2.
With less then eight minutes to go Cash Knight broke down the right sidelines and crossed the ball to the far post, Matt Harris headed the ball back across the face of the goal and Davi Lorenzo knocked it in to tie the game at 3.
Pfeiffer pressed hard the final seven minutes but couldn't end it in regulation.
The Falcons continued the pressure in oertime and a little over three minutes in it paid off with Matt Harris' game winning goal. Davi Lorenzo chipped the ball over a defender into Harris' path. The initial shot was stopped but on the rebound Harris slipped it into the empty net ending the incredible Falcon comeback.
Pfeiffer will return to action Sunday when they host Francis Marion University at 3:00 pm.

The South St. Louis County Fair wrapped up Sunday July 13 and the final
act was a night of stock car racing. A total of 79 cars the best total of the
season were in competition and a good crowd of fans were in attendance.
The track turned into one where high groove momentum would rule the day,
a situation that can be dangerous as it forces drivers to run a line that can lead
to disaster with just a tiny error.
The first round of qualifying heats were complete by 6:30 and, after a
brief intermission for track grooming it was time for the five feature events to

It was Open Wheel night at the Proctor Speedway Sunday night featuring
Upper Midwest Sprint Series (UMSS)Traditional and Winged Sprint Cars
along with WISSOTA Modifieds and Midwest Modifieds. A large crowd of
fans crowded into the speedway grandstands for the event on a hot July night.
After all of the qualifying heat races were complete and the track was
groomed, it was time to go racing. The UMSS features were sandwiched in
between the Midwest Modified and Modified features so the first event up

For the first time this racing season at the Proctor Speedway the
temperature matched the sunny and windy skies. The track crew did a
yeoman job reclaiming the track surface f rom the torrential rains that had
fallen during the night.
Cory Jorgenson of Hermantown was looking to nail down a Late Model
feature win in the 25 lap WISSOTA Late Model feature but first time visitor
Brent Larson of Lake Elmo, MN had other ideas. Larson mentioned that he
and his crew have been driving all over the area "chasing rain storms"
looking for someplace to race. The search took him to the Proctor Speedway
Sunday evening and paid off for him. Jorgenson led early on from the pole
and was hounded for several laps by Zach Wohlers, Larson, Kevin Carlson
and Terry Lillo. A couple of caution flags aided Larson who was in second
by the ten lap mark and pressuring Jorgenson enough that he spun around at
the top of turn one. The call went against Jorgenson leaving Larson sitting in
front ahead of Wohlers, Carlson, Harry Hanson and Tim McMann. The top
five would finish in that order except for Hanson who encountered trouble
and slipped back giving over fifth place to Kyle Peterlin. Larson turned the
fastest lap with a scorcher at 16.903 seconds for an average speed of 79.9

Thailand's largest island, a tropical paradise bathed by the ultramarine Andaman Sea, presents yet another side to this multi-faceted land.

Just offshore and tucked among a dramatic cluster of islands lies incredibly photogenic Phang Nga Bay—a secret world of caves and tunnels.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - In its final tune-up for the Mid-American Conference Championships, the Miami University men's cross country team ran to a 32nd-place finish Saturday morning against tough competition at Pre-Nationals, hosted by the University of Louisville at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park. The course will also serve as the host for the NCAA Championships in November.
Facing eight nationally ranked teams and a field of 40 teams consisting of entirely regionally ranked teams, the RedHawks totaled 762 points, finishing just ahead of Iowa, which totaled 782 points. Miami was also ahead of Cincinnati, who took 36th despite being ranked 10th in the Great Lakes Region and the RedHawks being 11th. Other regional teams in the race included Butler, which took 15th, and Indiana State, which was 20th.
No. 7 Colorado won the Red Race (seeded teams), that Miami ran in, with 72 points while No. 3 BYU placed second with 127 points. No. 15 Oregon, No. 14 Florida State and Duke rounded out the top five. A total of 64 teams ran at Pre-Nationals with the Black Race (unseeded teams) consisting of 24 teams. MAC foes Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan were 10th and 28th, respectively, in the Red Race, while Akron, Ohio, Toledo and Kent State were in the unseeded race.
Redshirt senior Steve Kiplagat (Iten, Kenya) was Miami's top finisher for the second time this year, placing 62nd in 24:10.0. Senior Jarrod Eick (Hartville, Ohio) was the RedHawks' second scorer, crossing in 110th in an 8K personal-best 24:35.2. Both runners missed the All-Ohio Championships two weeks ago with an injury while the duo has been Miami's top two finishers in all three races they've run this year.
Redshirt sophomore Daniel Garleb (Pickerington, Ohio) was third for Miami in 173rd place with an 8K personal-best 25:03.3. Rounding out the scoring five for the 'Hawks was freshman Joe Stewart (Naperville, Ill.) and redshirt senior Brett Wagner (Toledo, Ohio) in 208th and 209th, respectively, as both clocked 25:21 but Stewart was two-tenths faster.
Miami's other two runners in the Red Race were redshirt junior Matt Marol (Evanston, Ill.), who took 222nd in 25:32.9, and redshirt senior David Eichenberger (Plainfield, Ind.), who was 229th in 25:37.
A total of 272 runners competed in the Red Race with UTEP's Anthony Rotich winning in 23:01.0.
The RedHawks now have a week off before heading north to Buffalo, N.Y. for the MAC Championships Saturday, Oct. 27 at the University at Buffalo.

For gun-injury research
The child massacre in Newtown cast into relief LaPierre and the NRA's decades-long campaign to supplant health research on firearms and violence. Research and facts a hazard? In the paranoid war on firearms data and public health, the paranoid are winning.
Dr. Fred Rivara of the UW's Department of Pediatrics and Seattle Children's Hospital experienced the NRA's data stiffling first-hand. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, Rivara and his colleague, the Rand Corporation's Dr. Arthur Kellermann, conducted firearm-injury research. The hammer fell in 1996, when an NRA-obsequious Congress whacked $2.6 million from the Centers for Disease Control. As Rivera and Kellermann note in an online essay for the Journal of the American Medical Association, $2.6 million just happened to be the amount dedicated to firearm-injury research. They quote the Appropriation language which underlines the point. "None of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control." The inference is that empirical, control-tested data might demonstrate a relationship between gun control and a public good (say, fewer murdered children.) What if the opposite is true, and the NRA's prescription of armed guards at schools has merit? As the National Academy of Sciences reported in 2004, there is inadequate data to determine what's effective. Doctors and social scientists need to analyze inputs, but the NRA and its minions in Congress -- and even the Washington Legislature -- will have none of it.
Rivara and Kellermann underscore the extent of suppressed info. In Washington, files on firearm registration can no longer be accessed. The 2011 National Defense Authorization Act prohibits commanders and NCOs from speaking to a service member about his or her private firearm even -- and here's the kicker -- "in cases in which a leader believes that a service member may be suicidal."
The NRA continues to inject its agenda into exposed, public tissue. "Go to p. 766 of the Affordable Care Act," Rivara says. There it is, buried in a blur of Obamacare titles and bureaucratese, the ultimate non-sequitur. "Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights." The law gags wellness and prevention (!) programs from collecting or disclosing data on the presence or storage of firearms (or the lawful use of firearms or ammunition.)
Preventing gun violence is everyone's business. With firearm-injury data, Congress and the Legislature need to let in the light. Ignorance gives strength to the NRA, while the truth sets us free.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The Standard Hotel Hollywood
8300 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Standard Hollywood is the motel of your dreams. Sixties modernist, blinding white, with Astro-Turf surrounding the obligatory swimming pool. And the neighborhood — not some desert highway but the Sunset Strip, site of many a debauch, from Tallulah Bankhead's Twenties exhibitionism to the heavy-metal excesses of the Eighties and beyond.
From the upside-down sign, the funky 24-hour coffee shop, to the label on the thermostat marked BLOW HARDER, it's clear that the Standard is relentless in its pursuit of insouciant LA cool, with a generous helping of irony: Warhol print curtains, shag carpets on ceilings as well as floors, minibars full of lowbrow candies and house-brand condoms. And it's not all kitsch — the Standard is modern and comfortable enough where it really counts, with orthopedic mattresses on the beds and nods to modern cooking even in the intentionally retro coffee-shop restaurant.
In the end it's worth stressing that it's more motel than hotel. There's very little that's luxurious about it, and stylish though it may be, it could use a coat of fresh paint here and there. If it's white-glove luxury you're after then there's plenty of that available elsewhere in town — the Standard is for guests who will trade the occasional hitch in function or service for a vibrant nightlife and a scene that's unrelentingly hip. And if that last clause is enough to give you a bit of a migraine, you know what to do…
How to get there:
The Standard Hollywood hotel is a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport but the trip can take just over an hour depending on traffic. Valet parking is available for $34 USD per night.

Productive Partnerships With Alaska's Schools
One Alaskan Elder is Making a Big Difference in Her Community
Ina Bouker is much more than a teacher in DIllingham Alaska.Ā She she has been growing teachers in her community for about three decades.Ā Click here to see how she has been making a difference through the UA Future Educators of Alaska program.
Here's a quick snapshot of some achievements accomplished By partnering with Alaskan schools thus far
- UAS now delivers Alaska Performance Scholarship eligible courses statewide through the Alaska Learning Network. This is helpful to rural school districts who may not have the teachers available to provide the APS curriculum. Click here to find out more.Ā
- Kenai Peninsula College has expanded its dual credit program, JumpStart.
- For only the second time in 10 years, the UA Board of Regents met jointly with the Alaska State Board of Education to discuss issues of mutual importance. Teacher education rose to the top. Expect more to come from this ongoing dialogue.
Alaska faces significant challenges
Alaska has one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the country, and one of the lowest college-going rates in the nation. The University of Alaska is an open-enrollment institution; a student with a high school diploma or GED will be admitted.
UA students typically require higher levels of developmental course work compared with students at more selective public universities. Yet Alaska employers tell us they prefer to hire Alaskans and UA-trained teachers, accountants, engineers, etc., because they are better suited for the Alaska workforce and want to remain in Alaska.
How can UA partner more effectively with our K-12 school districts to address these issues in a holistic manner? How can we better align curriculum, make expectations clear and provide the necessary support to ensure effective partnerships with K-12 districts result in better prepared students for college classrooms?
Issue and Effect Statements
The Issue statements below address compelling concerns raised by Alaskans through more than 80 listening sessions. The Effect statements associated with each Issue statement express what UA intends to achieve as a high-performing education institution.
ISSUE A: High expectations for the continuing impact of the Alaska Performance Scholarship and the new K-12 Alaska Academic Standards notwithstanding, today half of UA first-time freshmen do not place into college-level courses and require one or more university developmental classes at student, university and state expense. Ā
Effect: High school graduation requirements and UA freshmen placement requirements are aligned across Alaska and postsecondary preparation pathways are clearly identified and communicated.
ISSUE B: The professional preparation that leads to retention of Alaska-educated teachers, especially those in rural Alaska, begins with UA's education programs and continues into UA Statewide's Alaska teacher placement process and the Alaska Statewide Mentor Program. The legislature has made it clear that UA is neither recruiting enough education students nor graduating enough teachers who are willing to accept positions in rural Alaska and remain teaching there long enough to positively impact student learning. Teachers moving to rural Alaska from outside the state do so without an adequate understanding of Alaska Native cultures, languages and rural living conditions. Although UA cannot unilaterally improve teacher retention rates in rural Alaska, it can wield significant influence.
Effect:ĀThe teacher retention rate in rural Alaska equals that in urban Alaska and is significantly improved by educating more Alaskan teachers.
ISSUE C:ĀThe quality of life and the economic potential of Alaska depend on an educated population. Currently, Alaska has one of the lowest rates of high school graduates continuing directly into postsecondary education. At the same time, increasing numbers of jobs in the state require postsecondary education.
Effect:ĀThe college-going rate in Alaska, the proportion attending college in-state and the proportion entering postsecondary education immediately after graduating from high school are similar to other western states.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
If you are among the millions who harbor fond memories of the Dr. Seuss holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, it may be best to stay far from Ron Howard's garishly unfaithful film adaptation. Gone is the warm-hearted whimsy that championed seasonal cheer and generosity over greed and materialism. In rushes a luridly polychromatic Whoville populated by dog-faced inhabitants whose general demeanor is barely distinguishable from the sour Grinch. Jim Carrey suffered under five hours of makeup every day to get into role; he unleashes these aggressions on the viewer with a strained, grating performance. Uncomfortably spliced contemporary elements add layers of cynicism wholly absent in both the Seuss original and the 1966 animated short.
Throwing $100 million at a classic kids tale will surely turn a profit and fill two hours between gift shopping, but when all is unwrapped, parents will be better off buying the book.

Kent State Research Reveals Shunned Children Exercise Less, at Greater Risk for ObesityPosted Feb. 10, 2012
New research from Kent State University's Dr. Jacob Barkley, assistant professor of exercise science, demonstrates that social exclusion results in decreased physical activity among children. The study, "The Effect of Simulated Ostracism on Physical Activity Behavior in Children," appears in the March 2012 issue of Pediatrics, and is available online.
Barkley launched his study to examine whether ostracism results in reduced physical activity behaviors. It builds on past findings that simply recognize an association between social exclusion and reduced activity.
Barkley's team asked children ages 8-12 to play a virtual ball-toss computer game, Cyberball, telling children the game was played over the Internet with two others. In half the sessions, children were excluded from receiving the ball for most of the game. In the other half, children received the ball one-third of the time. Each child played the game once under each condition and was then immediately placed in a gymnasium to choose any sedentary or physical activity while researchers observed and measured behaviors.
Physical versus sedentary activity measurements taken immediately after playing under each condition revealed ostracism elicits decreased physical activity participation in children – reducing accelerometer counts by 22 percent and increasing time allocated to sedentary behaviors by 41 percent.
"Our findings demonstrate the direct negative impact of social exclusion on the likelihood to be physically active," Barkley said. "Even a brief experience of ostracism immediately impacts levels of physical activity, whether or not a child is overweight.
"More research is needed to better understand what initiates the cyclical relationship. Social exclusion reduces interest in physical activity behaviors, decreased activity may produce further ostracism, and so on. However, we now know sedentary activity in children can result from one instance of ostracism."
Barkley received his bachelor's degree in physical education (with concentration in exercise physiology) from the State University of New York College (SUNY) at Brockport in 1998. He then earned both his M.S. (2002) and Ph.D. (2007) in exercise science from SUNY University at Buffalo. Barkley's work includes multiple studies examining how social interaction, variety of equipment and "exergames" affect physical activity behavior in children, adolescents and adults.

A Tree which stands in a Lake District wood is the tallest in Cumbria and could be the largest in the North West.
The 57.8-metre giant grand fir in Skelghyll Wood, Ambleside, has also been recorded as the tallest of its species in England, breaking the previous Cumbrian record of 55 metres, which was held by a conifer at Thirlmere.
National Trust ranger John Pring got the idea to get the tree measured and recorded by the National Tree Register charity when driving through Ambleside.
He said: "I've driven on that main road (A591) in Ambleside for a long time and I just thought: 'That really is a very big tree, I wonder how big it is? We were surprised just how tall it was when we measured it. There are some very big trees in the area but we didn't realise how tall it actually was. This is just one of the thousands of big old trees the National Trust looks after in the area."
Mr Pring, who has covered Windermere and Ambleside for 20 years, is now encouraging nature lovers to go to Skelghyll Wood and see the true scale of how tall the trees are for themselves and the grand fir, which was planted in 1860, looks set to continue growing and could push the 60-metre mark unless there are any accidents such as a storm blowing it over.
The tree was measured by tree climbers Mark Sigrift and Mick Lupton of Aspen Tree Management in Witherslack by dropping a long tape measure and using a badminton pole to attach a tape measure. "It just shows that the tree is happy with the climate there," said Mr Pring. It's only 160 years old so it is still growing."
ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."

I can't believe how well this coffee tastes with every brewing method that I use it. Very bold and smoky in the french press, bright and balanced in the V60, and even makes good iced coffee. Great price and great value.
- Kelley Arndt , drinking Peet's since 2000 2/19/14

I love this coffee! Of all the coffee Peet's has to offer, this has become my favorite. It tastes so smooth and perfect and I have been putting it in an Ekobrew filter for my Keurig and it works wonderfully, I also love it in my French press. I buy it whole bean and do not grind it until I use it, that way every cup is fresh and bursting with flavor! This is the coffee that always makes me crave a second cup!

The house blend is so good, I buy it both husband and I enjoy it most days as a treat. Thank u Peets got your wonderful special coffees. Jennie Galvan

I love this coffee. I moved to Amarillo a year ago and bought some Peetes coffee at a local grocery store. This is the best coffee I have ever had. I have tried Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Millstone, Seattles Best and many many more but you guys are the best. Your coffee is very smooth but yet very rich and full of flavor. Your beans are always fresh and that is something else that is rare among other coffees. They might be good some of the time but not all the time. Once again, I think you have the best coffee in the world.
- Susan P , drinking Peet's since 2008 9/11/12

I love the Peet's House Blend. It's the perfect morning cup of coffee and never disappoints. It's rich and never bitter. Love it!

Nothing, absolutely nothing compares to your coffee! I have a moccamaster coffee maker, the combination of both makes the perfect coffee.

I think this zesty Latin American blend is one that is often overlooked among Peetniks, but with its spicy kick and lively aftertaste, it still remains one of my favorite blends. I find this medium bodied coffee great in the morning or for desert as the flavor is not too powerful, but still very pleasing. It

During a comparative tasting I was startled with new perspective by the punch the House Blend gave me at first sip. It's one of those coffees I've always taken for granted, but it's spicy, tangy notes were more pronounced than ever. These notes mellowed into a pleasantly round, full cup with a bright overall high note which left me feeling like I could enjoy some even after a savory meal. It's the ultimate classic cup for anytime enjoyment!

House Blend is a great introduction to Peet's, offering up all that is special about Peet's Coffee (our unique Deep Roast and the highest quality coffee possible), and never presents itself as your typical House Blend coffee. The spicy Central American coffees combine to give the drinker a harmonious cup that challenges the palate, but does not overwhelm. New crop coffees are added in to give subtle changes (is that Kenya I taste?) throughout the year, but the overwhelming spicy, effervescent, new mown hay flavors with a crisp & clean finish never disappear. I might flirt with other coffees on our menu, but always return to that pillar of exceptional coffee - House Blend.

Follow Friday: Lodge Love
The other day we shared via twitter that we have a new logo - more delightful work from the creative minds over at Lodge Design. When they unveiled the latest to us, our director Lisa summed it up pretty well with an "Ohmygawd, you guys are my favorite."
We wanted to take a moment (longer than 140 characters) to bring the Follow Friday tradition from twitter to our blog. If you aren't already aware of Lodge, get to it. Follow them on twitter & the facebook.
They've been serving up craftiness on everything from our website to Indy Film Fest posters with a special knack for delight and wonderment.
Lodge, here's our love letter to you. You make our hearts go boom. Thanks for making us look good. Again.
So far, we've been getting great feedback on the logo from far and wide. Thanks for sharing this insightful comment, Tim:
We'll have more to unveil later this year, as Lodge is digging into the look for the 2011 festival. For now, we're focusing on the task of updating all of our properties with the new logo. Why isn't there a find-and-replace function for that?!

Advice and Resources for the Traveler with Special Needs
For travelers with special needs, planning any sort of vacation can be quite a production. With mobility equipment, oxygen tanks, medications, and service animals there is an endless possibility of potential packing and mobility problems.
Never mind that certain ports and countries around the world aren't up to date on proper accessibility codes.
Special Needs Group Inc. is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company that specializes in delivering equipment like beach wheelchairs and oxygen tanks to travelers wherever they may roam.
Garnett draws on nearly a decade's worth of experience in the special needs industry to make traveling a breeze for his customers and he had some great tips to share for the traveler with special needs.
"When someone has a special need, it's difficult for them to move from hotel to hotel. When they go on a cruise ship, they know it's accessible and the hotel is moving for them, it serves as a home base for them."
Cruises are particularly a good fit for those that need to travel with equipment. Companies like Garnett's Special Needs at Sea will not only rent or sell equipment, but deliver it to the ship for you as well.
"If somebody needs a scooter from us, delivery to the ship makes it much easier," he says.
Most cruise lines offer some sort of accessibility options, too, with amenities varying from cruise line to cruise line. Holland America Cruises is one of Special Needs Group Inc.'s preferred mobility and oxygen supply partnerships, and for very good reasons.
This system is now installed in 13 of their 14 vessels and they have shown an increasing commitment to accessibility by designing each ship refurbishment with their special needs travelers in mind.
Holland America is also prepared for travelers with hearing impairments with TTY/TDD equipment, visual alert alarms, and amplified telephone systems available for staterooms. There's also the innovative software system called Window Eyes available in the Explorations Cafe that will read text out loud to those travelers with a visual impairment.

If cruises aren't your thing, then you should investigate pre-planned tours that are specifically designed for travelers with special needs.
The Guided Tour, Inc., for example provides a multitude of destinations for ages 17 and up. With a 1-3 ratio of staff per traveler, Registered Nurses on 95% of their trips, and 38 years of service, Guided Tour, Inc. are pros at accommodating the traveler with developmental challenges.
Wheelchair Escapes, based out of Newton, New Hampshire, is another company that not only does guided tours for individuals in wheelchairs, but offers advice about shipping your power chair and other mobility travel concerns.
Another great thing about preplanned tours is that they have more than likely been verified, if not experienced first hand, by the companies that offer them before the dates are made available to the public.
Everything from group transportation to destinations to the venues has to be confirmed before the tour sets out. So it's another nice and easy option for the traveler who wants to go on a vacation without all that stress.
Finding Your Agent
For those that want to be able to customize their travel experience but don't really know where to start, the travel agent is key. A good travel agent is a fantastic resource for planning a trip, but with travelers with special needs finding a good agent is all the more important.
Finding your agent, one who will take your needs and concerns into consideration, is an important first step in planning your trip. Look for agencies that specialize in your need. This way, the agent is one step ahead of the game. With some fantastic resources already in stock, they can get straight to finding a good fit for you.
A great way to find agencies that specialize in your need is to look for agents that have some sort of relationship with your local special needs organization. "One should also ask how they came by their disabled travel experience," she said.
Above all else, the agent that you choose should be comfortable with your questions and be able to answer them candidly.
Some locations, especially in Europe tend to not be as up to date in terms of accessibility, so you want to find an agent who will be honest and help you organize a trip that's suitable for your ability.
