Meeting Butler County, Ohio

I was invited to spend a long weekend in Butler County, Ohio, just after they became Wheel The World certified for accessibility. The tourism board wanted me to write about how wheelchair accessible the region is. I hadn’t been there before, and it sounded like an interesting area, so I made plans to go. My trip to Butler County turned out to be one of my most unusual adventures, with new experiences, and a lot of donuts!   I brought Teddy and my friend, Heather, along for the ride, about three and a half hours from home. We had a nice welcome basket waiting for us at the hotel. Our home base was the Marriott Cincinnati North in Westerville. I was happy at the start with a flat entrance and automatic doors. They didn’t have any accessible rooms, so we had two connecting rooms. Teddy loved going back and forth between the two rooms. Mine had plenty of space for me to wheel around, a well-equipped desk area I could reach, and a large bathroom with a shower chair. The handheld was...

Minimus is a perfect partner on the road

If there's one thing I hate to see,  it's people doing stories about their advertisers just because they took in an ad.  This is very different.  I sought out Minimus ads for this site because it is a company I have useed with for years and I think it's a great source for my traveling readers.

Minimus is not just a place to get hard to find travel-sized products, they are a source of everything you need for your trip that doesn't come in the form of shoes, clothes or equipment.  For long trips, I have frequently ordered in advance and had a package of toiletries, food items and laundry supplies waiting for me.  Before leaving on short trips (or trips with multiple destinations), I often place a Minimus order.

I will leave you with a couple of my favorite Minimus items...

Cereal-With the exception of the over-sugared ones, cereal is a great meal, fortified with vitamins.  Add some milk and you've got a quick bowl of nutrition -- without a lot of calories and fat.  It's my go to meal when I'm traveling and have a night off between gourmet meals.  Minimus has a great selection of snack-sized cereal and you can even pick up some powdered milk if you don't think you can get some easily where you are staying.

Caffeine-You go into every hotel in the U.S., whether it's a budget motel or a five star and you will find a nice selection of coffee and tea, but it's not so simple out of the country.  I like variety and at Minimus I can get a variety of coffee, tea and hot chocolate that fits in an envelope.

Over-the-Counter Meds-Wherever you are going, it's good to be prepared with Tylenol, cold medicine, stomach remedies and even disposable thermometers.  Minimus has them all.

Beyond the Ziploc-Even before the fees, no one wanted to check luggage, but can you fit all your favorite products in a Ziploc?  I can squeeze more in that bag than most, yet I can't get in all my favorites. Ordering in advance from Minimus has definitely helped me keep my favorite beauty routine without always having to check my luggage.

I could probably go on for hours, but I think you got the idea.  Miminus is definitely worth a visit before you head anywhere.  The best part is that they don't charge for shipping on orders over $20, an amount that will get you a lot of travel supplies.
