These days Lyle and I have worked in it a system that will works for us. We both wear backpacks and Lyle pulls our one shared suitcase with his left hand. I take his right elbow and use my cane in my right hand. It simplifies packing knowing that there will only be one suitcase.
I know that every person will work out their own way of doing things. The other night at the airport I saw another couple with an interesting system. The man who was blind hauled the suitcase in his left hand and used a long white cane in his right. The wife walked shoulder to shoulder with him, grasping his upper right arm. I thought it looked a little awkward but this couple kept up a brisk pace heading on their way.
Today in Waikiki it has been raining. Oh yes, I forgot how tricky it is using an umbrella in addition to my cane. Next time for sure I will bring a raincoat, or perhaps I just need to grow another arm!
