  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.

Off to Paris!

By
I've been enjoying a bit of time at home to catch up on stories, but that's almost over.  Tomorrow I travel to Paris for a whirlwind three days celebrating the 200th anniversary of Perrier Jouet Champagne.

The last time I was in France, I spent my time in Champagne & Burgundy and didn't even make it to Paris.  I won't have much time to look around this trip, but it's going to be quite an exciting experience.

I begin my adventure with my first stay at The Westin Paris, where I'll be enjoying the Six Senses Spa before my yacht cruise on the Seine River. Then, it's a preview of contemporary artist Daniel Arsham's new exhibit at the Beaux Art Museum, where I will be attending the black tie 200th anniversary of Perrier Jouet Champagne Gala! I will also get to spend sometime learning about this champagne and may even sneak in some talks with a few of the celebrity attendees.

Of course, you can expect lots of photos and details, so stay tuned!
