Before I do any traveling and experience any discounts on travel, every year the State of Washington requires me to pay $202.00 for Travel Ready, Inc.[Website] to remain certified as Seller of Travel, even though I sell no travel. Travel Ready's website is devoted to enpowering those with a disability with the knowledge of where to go, when they may wish to travel. The need is even greater when that disability involves the loss of sight. It is their additional needs that I have spent ten years designing the website to not require any typing when accessing the Internet for travel purposes. For this purpose one only needs to click on the [Website] link assigned to each service provider listed. In addition to the state's requirements, the IATA organization also requires that I pay a $95.00 annual due be paid to be certified as a non-ticketing entity.

Alaska Airlines provides the greatest discounts to those certified through IATAN [International Association of Travel Agents Network]; offering a 90% off Peak Fares and this can save me thousands of dollars over the course of a year. The more I fly, the more I save and in turn the more I photograph.

The only regular income that I recieve comes from my Social Security Survivor Benefits.
