Hi Kattrails. I live in western KY, with my wanderlust, frustrated to be retired with a worthy vehicle and camping skills yet not being as free to travel as I had hoped. I travel in the Bowling Green, Louisville, Lexington, and Ashland area often and plan a longer get aways when I can. My husband and I had similar adventuring interests earlier in our lives. He now longer enjoys traveling with his current health limitations. Juggling travel plans between the never ending doctor appointments and therapy sessions takes determination. I want to wish you luck in figuring how to meet your medical needs while traveling. It seems you are relatively ready and close to launching, just being cautious, and smart. Are you considering a trip out to RTR in January? I went in 2018. I was impressed with how easy it was to arrange to meet people, male and female, with similar interests, to join a fire circle each night. There were specific small gatherings of disabled women. Some were very open, others more secretive. But they were discoverable. There was a Women's RTR following the regular RTR. They have organized smaller traveling groups, and a Facebook page. I heard somewhere maybe the Women's RTR will be before regular RTR in 2019. Caravans may form to travel out together. I encourage you to find how to connect with these groups to address some of your wise concerns. If you are along my travel route in the next few weeks, I'd be open to meeting up. Gotta run -- PCP appointment today! Joyfully, Turtle Lady
