Luxury hotels in Bath, UK: Gainsborough Bath Spa hotel

Image
When it comes to luxury hotels in Bath, UK, the Gainsborough Bath Spa hotel has something no other hotel can match: thermal water piped right into the pools in their Roman-inspired Spa Village. Add to that fine cuisine, sleek design and a location in the centre of Bath, and you’ve got a great way to vacation in Bath and connect with the culture. Here’s my experience. Connecting with spa culture It’s almost a shame there is so much to see in Bath, UK, because all I want to do is loll around in the water.  After all, isn’t travel all about connecting with a place, the history and the culture?

The company, founded in 1996, successfully manufactured Class B-plus motorhomes until 2008 when the recession hit.

My incredible trip through Thailand (via Oman!)

CAIRO -21 August 2017: If you’ve always dreamt of travelling to Thailand, then you’ll be compelled to book your flights after reading about new Disability Horizons contributor , Leah S.F’s amazing journey. A harsh winter had been predicted and the thought of complete restriction by layers of clothes and potential snow filled me with dread. So I decided it was time to take an adventure to the land of smiles, Thailand . Not the most obvious holiday destination for someone with SMA type 2, a traveller who uses a power wheelchair , a portable shower chair and mobile hoist. But uninterrupted sun for 101 days was what my body required, so a long haul destination was looking to be the only option. I was to travel with my two PAs, one of whom would go his own way once we reached Pattaya, and then meet us again towards to end of the holiday for the flight home. So with our 90-day visas in place for Thailand, travel vaccination against Hepatitis A+B (insist on both if you’re making the sam...
