Sue loves to travel. She says she’s been “itchin'” to go somewhere. Her friend Vickie came to the rescue with an invitation to visit her in Colorado, to which Sue replied, “Heck yes!” or something like that. ::smile::
This would be Sue’s first solo trip on a plane as a VIP (visually-impaired person). You can read her 3-part series which includes Packing, D Day aka Departure Day, and Landed:
Who is Sue?
She’s my friend of 40+ years who became legally blind (20/63 to 20/80 in one eye & between 20/160 and 20/200 in the other) from advanced dry AMD/geographic in 2016. After less than a year of learning how to deal with her visual impairment both physically and emotionally, Sue has a ‘normal for her’ life. At age 68 and with advanced dry AMD/geographic atrophy, she works, attends regular exercise classes, rides her bike safely, travels locally and abroad, takes photographs, walks her dogs, kayaks, attends social events with her friends, co-workers, exercise class buddies, and new friends she’s been making along the way!
