Everyone should enjoy his or her visit to New Orleans.  ChronicBabe is a website designed to help young women with chronic illness be their best, that includes giving them resources for traveling.  Click here for general info on accessibility-related travel issues.  Hint:  you don’t have to be a “Babe” to benefit from the resources.  There is plenty there for men too.  Note, the resources are not specific to New Orleans, but if you have a chronic condition or have mobility issues, then they may help make your trip to New Orleans more enjoyable.

Keep in  mind that New Orleans is an old city and is also under a lot of construction.  Sidewalks can be unevenly paved or be missing some bricks.  Big oak trees like to stretch out their roots, and when they do, they can cross your path.  Bottom line:  watch where you are going.

If you need to rent a wheel chair or scooter while you are in New Orleans, then visit Scootaround for info.
