Thanks, Jeff, but I'm not a big tourista type. When we get together, John
and I usually wind up find interesting projects to work on or playing
around big, interesting machines. He was Chief of Maintainence on the
Midway before he retired so I'm sure that's on out agenda while the girls
$hop. We'll likely pretty much stay in town.

If I ever get the chance, I have an old friend who owns a small winery up in
th Napa valley - now that's my kind of tour!

Well, if you get a hankering to escape the June Gloom on the coast, Temecula
Wine Country is an hour away, and by all accounts it competes favorably with
the Napa Valley.
