MSC World Europa YACHT CLUB Deluxe Balcony Suite 109019 Review
We sailed on the beautiful MSC World Europa in the Yacht Club, Deluxe Balcony Suite 19019 in February 2023.
The room was beautiful, had everything we could wish for. It was spacious, well appointed and amenity wise, had all we needed.
The room was very quiet, and for myself, my Partner, Deana nd my Beautiful Guide Dog, Spencer, there was adequate room, with plenty of storage
If you have any questions, please drop a comment below, and I will they and answer them as best I can

Pavement Parking - Blind Man and His Guide Dog

Obstructive Pavement Parking is unfortunately the norm these days, but it has to stop.

How Do I see as a blind man | What I can and cannot see |

Being Blind doesn't necessarily mean that you see nothing. Here, I describe what I can and cannot see as a blind man, as well as using my memory from before sight loss to help me visualise what I can no longer see. Whilst I cannot see anything with clarity, I still see some light, so surrounding myself with bright lights kind of excites my mind, gives my brain that feeling of being alive. Add t...
White Cane vs Guidedog - Blind walking

    I live in London and I have the freedom pass as i have depression, PTSD and autism. It seems quite complicated for the general disabled bus pass there but in London I can use mine anytime of day or night but the older person freedom pass holders is after 9am on weekdays. The national rail has some restrictions mainly south of the Thames that both kinds of freedom pass isnt valid before 9.30 on non-TfL rail but free afterwards with no evening peak restrictions. Child fare does apply on the Thames cruises for holders of any adult freedom pass but I don't know about the cable car as i never used my freedom pass for a discount because im frightened of heights.

    • @LowVisionUKTerrysView
      @LowVisionUKTerrysView Рік тому

      Hi. many thanks for your question, I am always happy to reply if someone takes the time to write. If it is this same card, then yes, simply show it to the bus driver, some will want it scanned, some will just say, take a seat. For the trains, simply show it to the person at the barrier, and they will let you through, then if someone on the train asks to see tickets, simply show them your pass.. It's so easy to use. Hopefully, the council sent you a leaflet, showing you the boundaries in terms of how far you can travel with the pass, either full or half price. If you are travelling beyond the boundary, you just pay for a ticket from the boundary to your destination. I hope this makes sense ?

    Hey Terry, it’s Vinny. Been a while. It’s nice to know you’re still uploading videos. I’d like to, but kind of grew apart from it. Not that I don’t want to just never seems to make its way into my daily schedule. L O L so much is going on over the last few years. I just thought you’d like to know that tonight I am submitting my application for my first. Guide dog. My best friend which was my lab mix got old and passed away about five months ago. I’ve had a hard time getting over him, but he was not a guide dog. After a lot of thought as I am one to rescue a dog usually I thought that the benefits of a guy dog would be the smarter choice for me in my life currently. And for years, my very good friends from my blind peer support group are always yelling at me to apply. Always felt due to my peripheral vision that I would be taking away from another blind individual that could use the dog more than me. But just like when I was biased against my white king and end up being one of the best things I ever decided to put in my toolbox, I know, that a guy dog will be the same scenario. with even more benefits to be had. I know I don’t comment as much but I have seen from time to time your uploads on UA-cam. Hope all is well. Seems to be going fine and everything on my end is good. My daughter just started going back to school for the year so I’m gonna have more time on my hands. so maybe I’ll start trying to upload some UA-cam again. God bless you friend.

      Hey Vinny, I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to hear from you. I often wondered how you were doing, as your videos used to be one of my highlights. I know what you mean though, I pose very few myself. Im absolutely chuffed that you are making your application for a guide dog, you will honestly be amazed, and will love and live your best blind life with your four legged life changer beside you. I am so excited for you, because I know how much you are going to love the additional freedoms a guide dog will bring, the adventures you will have and the memories you will make. soooooo exciting. Please keep me posted. Maybe that will be your kick to start posting again, once you have your amazing guide ? All is pretty good at this end thanks Vinny, and honestly, I am thrilled to listen to your comment and get your news. Stay in touch, and god bless you also my friend. Terry
