• A letter from your neurologist identifying your diagnosis. This can help you avoid awkward scenarios where you are perceived as being under the influence.
• Meds. On you, not in your checked luggage.
• Listen to your body.
• Book with a travel agent who understands the challenges of traveling with disabilities.
• Carpe diem!
