A new San Antonio theme park welcomes visitors of all ages with disabilities. Morgan’s Wonderland is designed with their special needs in mind. All of the rides and other features offer easy access that make them both fun and completely safe.

If you’ll be in the San Antonio area with elderly folk, young adults or children who would not normally be able to enjoy regular theme park features, Morgan’s Wonderland would be a great place to take them. The park offers thrill rides, touch sensitive interactive exhibits, kids’ playgrounds, colorful flower gardens, a fishing lake and theater with scheduled music and comedy acts.

To help blind visitors and those with limited sight, all direction signs in the park are also in Braille. For information about Morgan’s Wonderland, check with your favorite online or hometown travel agency, or go to morganswonderland.com

If you’re vacationing in Sin City and getting tired of the gambling tables and machines, and need a bit of relief from all the buffets, try Vegas Indoor Skydiving. You need to be in good physical shape and there are health restrictions, but no age limits. People in their 80s have enjoyed the ride and happily returned for more.

For $75, they’ll put you in a puffy flight suit, given some basic flying instructions and guided into the indoor wind tunnel. For about 20 minutes, you’ll have the wonderful sensation of being one of the three flying P’s: Harry Potter, Peter Pan or Mary Poppins. For more information, ask at your hotel front desk or go to www.vegasindoorskydiving.com

Frommers loves it. Trip Advisor gives it five stars. Sherman Travel voted it the top hotel, big or small, in the entire city of London. With the not-so-fancy name of Main House Hotel, what’s so great about it?

First, it’s not in the high-priced hotel location around Trafalgar Square. Main House (Caroline Main owns it) is in the quaint Notting Hill neighborhood, just a few steps from Portobello Road. That’s where the world’s biggest flea market/fun fair/antique sale operates each weekend, and that alone is worth the visit.

The rooms are extra large and decorated in glorious 18th and 19th Century English antique style. Rates begin at about $80 per night. The  address is 6 Colville Road, Notting Hill, London, U.K., phone 011-44-207-221-9691 and Email address is www.themainhouse.co.uk

We’ve loved San Francisco since we shipped out from Treasure Island for WWII and sailed back under the Golden Gate when the war ended. Beautiful city, wonderful food and great people. However, since the hippies and homeless took over in the 50s and 60s, the city’s nutcase politicians have ignored the problem or have done their best to stifle anything welcoming about San Francisco.

Now someone seems to be waking up in City Hall, and there is an attempt to do something about the very aggressive panhandlers and other unpleasant street people who are scaring tourists away. They’re trying to allow police to force druggies, drunks, sleepers and beggars off the once beautiful sidewalks and parks of San Francisco.
