To be honest, being a veteran of the amuse ment park wars, that's the only reason I went.

Then there was the air transportation exhibit featuring actual aircraft from the days of the Wright Bros to today's flying fortresses Another one of my favorites was the Ramses II exhibit with artifacts from the days before Christ. These include necklaces, burial cases, statues, games and more, enjoyed by Ramses II. one of the greatest Kings of ancient times I could go on, but in this case, brief summaries |ust won't do. so go see it yourself1 It's only a five or six hour drive, and $100 00 of U S currency gets you $136 00 Canadian to make up for the prices Try to make hotel reservations in advance to avoid the panic Singles, families, old or young.

Andre Crouch. Al Green. The Mighty Clouds of Joy. Julian Lennon, Lena Horne, Lou Rawls, Ray Charles.
