I think we came up with some ideas they hadn't thought of. We spent about 90 minutes running the route they had planned plus parading by as many high-populated locations in Lake Sumter Landing as we could think of. We even stopped so they could give a few interested people a test ride on their machines. Several people stopped their golf carts to get on one of the Segways and take a test run.

What a blast! I have done the Segway thing before several times and I can recommend it to everyone. The young couple will headquarter their tours out of the Tree Tops Golf store in Lake Sumter Landing. I don't know when the tours will start or how much they'll charge, but they'll be fun and I'd guess "worth it". The purchase of a Segway has definitely made it onto my personal Bucket List. You may even find me leading tours every now and then!

Kahuna...do you know if they are hiring anyone? I knoiw someone that would be perfect for that and I responded to their add on TOTV's a while ago but heard nothing back. Do you have any contact info...names etc...that you would be willing to share?
