My old school chums are mostly in Massachussetts, hence many trips there, also in Chicago, and N and S California etc. Visiting old pals (often at grad school) is a great idea, because you meet their new friends, etc. One of my favorite reasons to visit my pals in big cities is the great food, one of the requirements for great vacations. Skiing out west is a great vacation if you live in New Jersey. You don't have to be a great skier to go out west. Ski out east about five times (take lessons) and learn how godawfully atrocious the conditions usually are and get your ski-legs. By the time you can slide down the hill, you are ready to go out west to take lessons and find out what real snow feels like under your slats. You really appreciate it after your experiences in the east and if you beat yourself to a pulp, they have hot tubs and other such corrective goodies. And the mountains are so pretty. If you are involved in folkie activities (dancing, music-playing) there are camps to go to. I have never been to these camps, but I like shorter term folkie gatherings, so I imagine that these would be fun. Ha, just thought of a funny idea. It would be interesting to run a bed-and-breakfast service using netnews. Sack-and-hack? Hmm... Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
