Actor Selma Blair reflects on her experiences living with multiple sclerosis, diagnosed in 2018. Throughout her childhood, she found solace in vacations, which served as a beacon during challenging times. Now, she enjoys traveling again, accompanied by her service dog, Scout. Blair emphasizes the importance of having beautiful hotel rooms with views. She notes the convenience of bringing a squeegee to manage dog hair during travels, advocating for improved accessibility in hotels for individuals with disabilities.
"The one thing that got me through childhood was great vacations. Everyone just feels better on a vacation. So even as a sickly child, that was always the beacon, the north star for me."
"Luckily, hotels are really dog friendly, which is a plus and minus. Because I do allow my service dog to be quite friendly to people... And he still does his job for me."
"I do carry a squeegee to get the dog hair off the ground. I'm always ready to clean up any fur from the floor of an Uber or a plane."
"I always make sure that I have a beautiful room, preferably one with a view. ... It would be lovely if there is room and you see someone with a disability coming."
