How about a Convention, on a cruise ship? That way the spouses could just laze around, and relax. Mind you they can laze around now, but a cruise ship would be more fun. My wife, won't go to conventions with me, anymore. She says it is no fun if there is nothing arranged, for while I am in class. Regards, John M.
