Sleep on the train. Hop concert to concert with the band. :) Of course train rides generally aren't as 'classy' as boat rides... - -----Original Message----- From: Shellyus@aol.com [mailto:Shellyus@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 3:53 PM To: edheads@efohio.com Subject: Re: cruise alternate{my .02 cents} *shrug* i just don't think the whole 'following the band for a tour' would work..i mean..we'd all hafta, like carpool..or get our -own- RVs to rent???..or rent hotel rooms in each place..etc.....how would -that- work?? skiing outing? dunno. don't ski. but i am sure i'd make use of the lodge and be waiting with cocoa when everyone strolled in. resort? hmm. sounds like the best of them right after the cruise, but, again...schematics...*shrug* ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 20:17:25 -0400 From: Stuart Jewell Subject: RE: Nicole's cruise report (long) Other venues were mentioned on the 1st cruise as well. However, it was also noted that non-ship venues would likely have people more off doing there own thing and not "forced" together as the ship does. So I second that the ship keeps everyone together and is a good idea.

I love the idea of a cruise ship vacation with EFO.
