Two years ago I started planning a trip to Italy with my son's soccer team. Since I was traveling overseas for the first time since I lost vision in my right eye I wanted to be well prepared. In the last few months the Commission for the Blind have aided me with many tools. I hope my experience will help others who have low vision not be afraid to travel. I have a talking scale which my son used to weight the suitcases the morning we drove to the airport. We were allowed one bag which could not exceed 50 lbs. Our suitcase weight about 35 lbs each. I had to laugh when I heard the scale announce the weights. Phillip weight all the bags and himself several times. So we were off to Atlanta to meet our group for our adventure.
