BATHROOMS

Well we went on vacation last month, it was a road trip from Florida to Chicago, it was great seeing the family, but one word of caution. We travel with a dog, so we just make gas stops and fast food drive thru for lunches. Way too hot to leave our dog, Vinnie in the car if we go into a restaurant. When we stop off the interstate, some of the fast food places are older, so they weren't built after the ADA regulations, and the bathrooms are retrofitted for wheelchairs.They might work if you're in a wheelchair, and don't need help from anyone for anything & are totally capable of transferring by yourself, but I need some help to get my clothes up & down, and turning about face to get on toilet. This means my mom has to leave the door open so she can fit it to help me with what I need. Guess you have to throw inhibitions out the window, thankfully the bathrooms weren't too busy while we were in there.
And there is the matter of those darn huge toilet paper rolls, that are harder than heck to get the paper off of ,and they are so low down, I almost fall off the toilet reaching down for paper.

My regulation for bathrooms is about 5'x5'.
