A short 'afternote' about our Europe Trip with Vineet

Phew!! Feeling quite accomplished now that I've finished documenting Vineet's trip to Europe before my memory gave way! 😜 So there were a few small things I wanted to point out to parents with a child as special as Vineet.

1. So when we came back I found that Vineet's SB site had a blister kind of thing at the bony part. Big mistake on our part - we had forgotten all about his cushion in this trip! 😱 It did not occur to us at all that his travel chair had no cushioning at all. We had carried it to Mumbai (and even left one in the hotel by mistake) but this time we forgot in the hullabaloo. So now we had to take care of this blister which ultimately burst and is now healed, Thankfully by the grace of God Almighty 🙏

2.  I don't know if we searched less or what, but it was so difficult to find a bottle of milk, just plain milk in there. They came in different forms and flavours, but never just pure milk. Quite perplexing...or maybe we didn't try to hard, eh 😏 Nevertheless, that one glass of milk daily was quite irregular for Vin and it made him weak. So if your child is having food issues, carry lots of them with you in portable forms. It would have done us well to carry small milk cartons from here. Next time! 😌

3. Lastly, while writing my posts I was also able to find a lot of exciting things about Italy - especially the " ACCESSIBLE GONDOLAS in Venice!!! I was soooo excited for Vin! They ACTUALLY have them!

4. And it also makes me make a note about our very own First Indian Travel Company for the specially challenged - www.enabletravel.com
