Absence makes the heart grow fond.

Some things you can do to prepare for the arrival of your new Segway.

Have a place picked out for it to reside, one with an outlet nearby. - Segways do not like to hide in closets or garages - they really like to be out with the rest of the family - Ours live in the dinning room, one is by the window and the cat sits on it to look out. Having a little mat for it to reside on is good, keeps the floor cleaner.

Plan some gliding trips, look for some new ways to get places, watch out for bad sidewalks and rough roads. Also look for places to secure your Segway. Once you have your Segway you will find that the old way of going places, is just that old. You will find lots of new ways to get places. - just don't think that you will get there any faster, as people will stop and ask you all kinds of questions. You will find the same questions get asked over and over again.

Think about where you are going to put that box. It does break down, but some of the packing material (the wheel supports) do not. Having the box will come in handy if you have to ship it or take it with you on a trip.

Get some cleaning items ready for it, a couple of good rags and cleaning products that will not damage it. Segways like to get detailed - though alot of them here in the states, look like they live full time in the outback!

So hugz come your way - it will be worth the wait. And think of how you will answer the five official questions that you will be asked.
