Electric Scooters Multi-Billion $$$ Business


According to CNN, with financial growth, Bird Rides are wheeling along sidewalks in large cities across the USA. The handy electric two-wheelers go up to 15 miles per hour, are rented via a computer app, usually cost $1 to unlock and 15¢ per minute to ride. In your travels, and if your seasoned citizen’s body is in good physical shape, consider giving a scooter a ride as you tour big city streets.

While many enjoy the economy, convenient transport and availability, not all are pleased about scooters scooting along busy city sidewalks. For the elderly, handicapped and families with small kids, there's need to dodge the speedy vehicles, as well as collisions. Also, because the scooters can be left almost anywhere after use, there’s danger, especially at night, of tripping over them on darkened sidewalks.

Gallop Poll: Hawaii Is State With Least Stress, Most Joy PDF Print E-mail


In what seems like a poll with an obvious answer, the Gallop statisticians recently announced their findings. They report that residents of the Aloha State are the least stressed and happiest in the nation.

The implication is that the islands’ positive mood is passed on to tourists. This makes Hawaii, with its tropical climate, sparkling surf and sandy beaches one of the best world destinations for senior adventurers.

The Gallop study also lists West Virginians as the most stressed, with Rhode Island, Kentucky, Utah and Massachusetts close behind. We have a question. Didn’t those researchers spend any time on New York streets nor California freeways, where stress is too mild a word for the type of emotions happening there?

Therefore, if you feel stressed and need some time to calm down on a beautiful beach with palm trees waving above, consider visiting heavenly Hawaii in your next travel plans. For information, check it all out at www.gohawaii.com
