I stayed in a hotel...That was such a great answer. I stayed in a hotel in NYC about a week and a half ago. It had a roll in shower. I don't use those at home but thought I would give it a try (first time I had a room with one of those, could not use it, as the controls were not reachable from the seat that was attached to the wall). This one had a plastic seat that you could move. However, if I moved it into a position that I could get into from the wheelchair, it was not possible to reach the controls. If I put in a position to reach the controls, I could not get in because the sink would be in the way. If I had the time, I think I could have positioned it in some way that I could get on from a different angle. But I didn't so I just sat in my chair and washed my hair without getting anything else wet. Also there was an annoying lip at the thresholds to both enter the room and the bathroom. I could get over it but someone with less strength might not have been able to. You never know what to expect from a hotel bathroom. Next time I'm just getting a room with a tub, which I might or might not be able to use.

Your story...Excellent response to the desk clerk! <br /><br />Your story reminded me that I haven’t used the free passes I got from a local museum because one of their staff followed me into the bathroom stall in case I needed help, and wasn’t willing to understand that people who need help in the bathroom generally have someone with them to do so...Utter Randomnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010190479645800897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-24567528098906155112017-10-15T13:13:37.037-04:002017-10-15T13:13:37.037-04:00That desk clerk won't forget you!
In America ...That desk clerk won't forget you! <br />In America I think most strangers might ignore you if they overhead your request to Joe. <br />So I am guessing you are in more likely in Canada.....but distracted travelers are ubiquitous in airports these days, no matter where you are. <br />I don't have much of a poker face so I sometimes look annoyed when I am startled...but more likely annoyed at myself not to have noticed that someone was trying to get my attention.....<br />while it is really nobody's business to notice or make assumptions about whether you both are together or just standing by each other, if you are friends, partners, or a professional carer and client.........<br />hope your travels get boring for the rest of the route. <br />clairesmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235828110880302069noreply@blogger.com
