To me, "vacation" is defined by having the time to read the newspaper
over a second cup of coffee in the morning, whilst eating a toasted bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam smeared liberally all over it. All done in a leisurely fashion, of course. If I'm going to travel, I don't want to be at home. I want the local newspaper to get stories I'll never see anywhere else.I want a local restaraunt instead of McFood. When I'm driving a long distance, I even try to tune in to local talk shows and I get a different view of the world.... sometimes hilariously different! Precisely, John. That's exactly what Mary and I do -- we try to sample the local flavor wherever we go, which means getting far off the freeway, away from big-box chain hotels and freeway-food places like "Applebees" and "Olive Garden". I will never, ever understand in a million years why anyone stays in a "Holiday Inn Express" or eats at Bob Evans, when there are soooo many outstanding, less-expensive, locally-owned choices available. Really, if you only stay and eat in chains, why in the hell should you ever leave home? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
