Can anyone suggest a nice vacation destination for the end of January that is affordable on a student budget? Kevin Crowston Aiken Computation Lab

Yucatan. Many places there to see, many things to do, much good food to eat. The exchange rate with Mexico will determine the cost but it can be very inexpensive. Flights are not too expensive either. Try to get on a charter group flight but just buy the flight and not the accomodation package. Isla Mujeres near Cancun is a cheap place to hang out and do a little diving, some great birding just north of there as well. inland are Mayan ruins and some nice litle towns to stay in.

I think the Yucatan is a great place to visit. But it's likely to be very hot and rainy in July. Flights to Cancun are often insanely cheap. If you want some real first class snorkeling, be sure to visit neighboring Belize. The islands off the coast (called 'the Cayes') are pretty amazing. Belize is an English speaking country. -- Bruce Karsh --------------------------- Univ.
