From time to time, I botch some aspect of a trip. When this happens, I try to determine what went wrong and how I might prevent it from going wrong again. If I think one of these findings could be useful to others, especially folks traveling with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), I write it up in my next blog entry and label it as a “PD Travel Tip”. Almost immediately after posting my first PD Travel Tip, I realized that having these tips scattered around across the blog wasn’t particularly helpful. Now, many, many lifetimes later, I have compiled all of my PD Travel Tips (thus far) into this single page! Each tip is presented as one to three sentences, followed by a link to the full story of what led to the creation of that particular Travel Tip – i.e., what I botched.
