disabilities are more prevalent among seniors, as many disabilities are age-related. In fact, many seniors are what I call "slow walkers." They get around OK, but they have to use a wheelchair for distance (in airports, for example, or when boarding cruise ships). Sometimes these folks are hesitant to take advantage of those accessible travel services (like airport wheelchairs), because they feel they should save them for "somebody more disabled." This is a huge mistake, as those services are for anybody who feels they need assistance. In the long run, accepting accessible travel assistance will enable you to have a better trip, as you won't be worn out (and in pain) by the time you get to your destination. Remember, it's a vacation, not the Amazing Race
