Anyone who would indulge their self in >such sissy-sh_t comfort should be shot dead... We didn't stay there, we just hiked in for a beer and a burger on the deck. We stayed at a Hilton in Monterey, close to Laguna Seca where our friend was racing his spec car. But spending a couple of kilobucks on a vacation isn't unreasonable. Staying at a beautiful resort on the Pacific dunes seems a lot nicer than me as compared to, say, a Princess cruise. Personally, I like to hike or ski, the only sort of all-day, tiring activities that take me away from electronics. If I lay on a beach or something passive like that, I just keep thinking. What do you do for fun? John
