Then I agree with Michael (sort of), come to the Washington, DC/Baltimore area. The majority of museums are free, the cities are quiet in the fall and there are wonderful exhibitions going up as we speak.

Ok, I need your help. I entered a contest at work and was told yesterday I won two first-class, round-trip airline tickets to anywhere in North America on Northwest Airlines. Pretty impressive, huh? The catch is, it comes with hefty tax fees of $400 a piece, or a total of $800 as a hit on my pay. I need to give them an answer tonight as to whether or not I will take them, so your help is needed. Tell me why I should come to visit your museum. My mind is open as to areas (to a point), but, since museums are an important part of my life, and visiting good museums would serve to enhance any trip I took, I'd like to hear from you folks why I should go to your area instead of another. I think this could be a fun exercise in marketing, and if you don't convince me, you may convince somebody else on list. More than that, you may help one another in exchanging creative marketing techniques. I've not decided whether I'm going to take them, whether I'm going to give them to my kids, or exactly where I would go, so please help me out by giving it your best shot! Thanks for considering my request. (This could get fun depending upon your answers.) ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
