You said it right there.

It is a book that gives travelers who are blind or have low vision the tools to make travel fun and safe.

The collection of tips are divided into 11 chapters, including planning and packing for your trip, the hotel while you're away, traveling by air, sea, and rail, and of course, traveling with a guide dog.

The appendix is jam-packed with valuable resources like my two most popular blogs, Six Ways to See Better and Lynn's Top 25 Tips for Restaurant Dining, information about self-protection and sighted guide techniques, and an overview of the accommodations at Vancouver International Airport.

I have been working in the field as a vision rehabilitation therapist for over 24 years.

I experienced sight loss back at the age of 27, so I've gathered a lot of insight for the book from my own travel experiences.

Absolutely.

Some of the tricks include something as simple as placing an elastic band around your hotel doorknob so you can identify your door in a corridor of similar doors.

or placing all of the clothes that you need for the day in a large Ziploc bag.

So that has everything from your shirt, your shorts, your undergarments.

It's all in one place.

If you do go on an overnight excursion, you can just grab the appropriate wardrobe change bag, throw it into your overnight bag and you're on your way.

I was one of those highlighter kids.

It's so obvious.

Yeah, thank you.

I excel at being organized.

As a person who is blind or as a person with low vision, if you're not organized, you need to get organized.

It's awfully frustrating if you're pulling out every spice jar in your cabinet until you find the cinnamon jar, right?

And then you have to put them all back and then you want to find the paprika now as they all come out.

Yeah, it just, it doesn't work that way.
