Many of you will know of Scott Rains, if not, here’s a brief introduction. Scott is a wheelchair user that lives in the USA and is at the forefront of universal design for all. He is a keen activist in disability rights, legislation and inclusive tourism. In fact, his entry today the 28th August is titled “Hostels and Inclusive Travel”.
His blog “The Rolling Rains Report: Precipitating Dialogue on Travel, Disability, and Universal Design” is well worth keeping up with, as if it’s happening, he knows about it. He’s always flitting around the world and having interesting experiences.

You see what I mean, Scott found himself on my new blog without me even telling him. Thanks for the news Scott, I really hope I can get out to Brazil in 2008. Anyone want to pay for my trip?

Thanks, Craig. It is good to see you writing here!
We seem to be in a period of good news. Just today I learned that Brazilian Senator Eduardo Azeredo held hearings yesterday on promoting Inclusive Tourism in Brazil and Miguel Urtecho in Peru is holding his government accountable for inclusion in the reconstruction of several towns following the August 15 earthquakes.
