What tends to get in the way
- Itineraries that assume you can walk ten miles
- Uncertainty about access and steps
- Language in an unfamiliar country
What actually helps
An itinerary built around you
Say plainly what you need: “Four days in Charleston. I use a cane, need to sit every half hour, and would rather not drive.” The plan will look entirely different.
Step by step
- Give the place, the dates, and how you travel.
- Ask for a day-by-day plan with rests built in.
- Ask which places have step-free entrances.
- Ask it to shorten each day by a third — most first drafts are too ambitious.
Translation in your pocket
Point your phone camera at a menu or a sign and read it in English.
Checking before you go
Ask about lifts, accessible bathrooms, and distance from parking. Then telephone to confirm the things that matter.
