Just back from a short vacation & wedding in Virginia. We did Segway tours in D.C. and Richmond VA and am even more fired up to work on this issue! Planning to start at the county level and see what happens. Coincidentally, there was a gentleman and his wife visiting the Wintergreen property. He was gliding through the lobby to his car equipped with a Segvator. They were gracious enough to talk to me about its use and how the Segway has changed their lives given his MS condition. I'll certainly follow-up on the suggestion to get in touch with Lilly Kerns. |

We're boaters and every year the Florida legislature passes more laws designed to make any one from any state other than Florida who owns a boat unwelcome in Florida waters. A group of multi-millionaires who own waterfront mansions and don't like to see any boats anchored 1/4 mile off their shore will petition the Florida legislature for a law banning anchoring there and the legislature happily complies - More new laws like this are passed every year If you own a federally documented vessel (which means no state registration is required) Florida will either demand you to register your boat in Florida (and pay them a hefty tax to do so) *or* buy a 'visitor pass' for $85 per year if you intend to stay in waters off Florida shores for 90 days or more We circumnavigated Florida in 88 days and I was very glad to get out of Florida's waters. As others have said, vote with your $$$ and find some other place to vacation Don |

Thank you all for your suggestions. I've been in touch with a few of the county departments and received some positive feedback.
With regards to Lily Kerns, it looks like she passed away in October 2015. You can Google it. I don't have 5 posts, so I can't post a link. |

I am so sad to hear about Lily. I loved her posts here - very intelligent and classy lady.
