Which area costs less to travel/vacation in?


Anywhere offshore. Great views, great
swimming/fishing/sunsets/sunrises. Watch the stars all night without
the light pollution from the cities. Right after sunset, as the ion
light fades in the West, lay and look up and see how many satellites you
can spot still in the sunshine up there making them really stand out as
they whiz by on a moonless night.

Offshore in the Great Lakes, away from the shipping lanes, would be
almost as good, except for the freezing temperatures. Offshore of Grand
Cayman raises the temperature and lowers your heating bills,
substantially. The fishing's better, too, lowering the family food
bills a lot if they'll eat fresh seafood.

Why would anyone want to sail to a CITY? That's crazy! All that noise
and stink and rot and crime....

Pick a nice slot of good weather, sail offshore 50 miles and just float
around, going ashore only until the next front passes so you can go back
out, again.

And don't forget to let those girls SAIL THE BOAT!.....
