Nevertheless, off they go--down the crowded streets of Philadelphia, down the muddy waters of the Mekong, into a gondola on a make-believe canal in Nevada. We hope you'll have fun with them.

Obviously, we hope their stories will inspire some of you to seek your own adventures. Travel vacations are glory times. They pack scrapbooks and spark spark, in electricity: see arc.

 stories that you'll tell for years. More fundamentally, travel stretches the soul. This possibility is not taken away by MS.

The same advice about calling ahead, asking questions, and making smart preparations applies as much to having a good time on a day trip as it does to surviving a month in the rain forest.

No matter how long or short a journey is involved, we hope you enjoy one this summer! But we know some people stay at home because they believe it's too much trouble to try. The unfairness of MS has them throttled. Embarrassment, fear of public prejudice, sadness, dread of symptoms acting up--these feelings can keep people locked up at home.

If you or someone you care about isn't getting out anymore, we invite you to pick up the phone. Please dial 1-800-FIGHT-MS (1-800-344-4867) and select Option #1. Someone in the Society chapter nearest you will talk with you about starting a journey to some better solutions.
