Denied Boarding by MedLink
I have Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain disorder, and had a problem boarding a recent flight. While I was boarding I stumbled and fell while trying to maneuver the boarding ramp. Subsequently the airline contacted MedLink, discussed the incident with them, and then informed me I would not be able to fly until I had doctor's statement stating that I was fit to fly. Who is MedLink and what credentials do they have to decide that I am unable to fly? Read the answer...

Access Upgrades Coming to Lassen National Park
Lassen Volcanic National Park has had a rough summer season. For starters, due to a unseasonably late snowfall, the main park road didn’t open until the second week in July. And even then, some of the major trails were still closed. Again, a weather issue. And if Mother Nature hadn’t dealt this Northern California gem enough blows, add in a major road project with a number of construction delays along the way. In the end, it all sounds pretty grim. So, does that mean you should just skip Lassen in 2010? Absolutely not! In fact, with a little insider information, you can plan a relatively stress free visit, and still enjoy many of the wheelchair-accessible areas of the park. Plus, with some exciting access upgrades in the works, it’s definitely a spot to keep on your travel radar.
