H Eleanor
Sorry to confuse you but I live in
France. I am relaxed but for me this is a complete new
experience as I have never had a proper independent holiday
on my own, I have always had respite which is different as I
have had carers with me 24/7 but I am going to a hotel and I
have never been before so I am completely new to this. I
will have to kind of fend for myself but for the extra hours
I am paying for people to take me out. I am in the hotel on
my own, although it is a hotel for the blind run by vision
hotels, there is a limit as to how much they can do for me.
Regards
Adrien

Now Adrien you are confusing me *smile*. You are saying
that it is not all that easy where you live re you getting
to the machine but then you say you are coming to the UK for
the 2 weeks. I am fairly certain now that most shops in the
UK will now be able to accommodate your inelastic arms and
will be most accommodating of your difficulties. If in any
form of doubt, I would in your situation simply ask if a
Manager could assist me with the payment. Yes of course you
can trust your Mum, as you say where would you be without
her. I think going on a holiday, a new experience brings
anxieties but try to relax a little about it and I am sure
you will do just fine.
