[Fred Schneider]

I'm chuckling John.   Those two years that I taught school in New Holland I learned that a long distance trip for most families was the Delaware Park Race Track.   The Pennsylvania history teacher consistently mispronounced Monongahela, Allegheny, Youghiogheny, Versailles and other places west of the mountains because he had never been west of Harrisburg.  (He was also a railfan.)  

Phil:

You can enjoy coming home and also enjoy travel.   

We have a list member who loves Japan.   If there is anything I absolutely must see in Japan, let him tell me ... I'm planning a 2012 trip.   If there is a meal I must eat, advise me.
