Dennis,
I don't know if there are any particular areas you have in mind for your trip, ie inland,coast,etc, but if you need any particulars just let me know...happy to help if I can. If you happen to do the Tampa thing, there is also Busch Gardens in north Tampa not far from I-75, and not far from there n or s on the Gulf coast lots of pretty places to stay by the beach.....probably would be more like 1and1/2 to 2 hours from DW though to go that way, although BG only about 1-1and1/4 hours. Stay a couple of hours away near Jacksonville and your assistant can look for fossilized shark teeth on the beach, which I think also occurs closer in Venice Beach. Heck, I'm rambling like a market analyst now, so if you pick any particular area and let me know, I'll be happy to lead you wrong. Compaq helped today, even though I hear US Robotics is down 7 in afterhours trading. IBM's pre-market opening announcements should pretty much influence the day. I'm almost hoping for a little more drop so I can possibly pick up a few bargains with a little remaining pocket change, knowing that it'll all eventually come out in the wash. I saw lots of stuff was down pretty low earlier today, with RAIN even making it under 24 again and DANB getting below 20. Time to take out the crystal ball for manana. RAIN dropping a couple more points takes it back to cherry-picking range again.
May your day be a prosperous one,
