Thanks to all who replied to my question about the transferability of handicapped placards. The rational mind told me that we shouldn't encounter any problems, but I know of few governments that are in their rational minds. I'll try to let everyone know how our vacation goes. Dad's in pretty decent health and mobility, as things go, but I know that he'll put some undue stress on himself wanting his body to "be on its best behavior". I've got to figure out some way to tell him this is supposed to be a vacation for his body, as well as his mind! We leave for the beach in mid-June. Between now and then we've got to get the folks moved and settled into their new home (a retirement community affiliated with a nursing home, "for when that time comes" (Dad's words.)) You'd think they were moving across the country, instead of across town! Thanks again! Diane [log in to unmask]
