       Good friggin' question !  Daughter's spring break from school no. 1 
answer.  No. 2 answer is the rest of the year is already booked up with <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/BusFusion/bfhome.htm">
BusFusion,</A> Ille de Madeleine and various other VW camper camping events, and 
of course I have a business repairing these lovely Westys and the spring, 
summer and fall are my BUSY season !  Soooooooo off to BC in March we go.  
The train came about 'cause the S.O. got enough points from buying stuff for 
three tickets back and forth on the train !  How about that !  So it does pay 
to remember to get those points.  I was always buggin' her about the useless 
waste of time looking after those points.  Well, I've had to eat my words and 
rethink my position on that issue !  Rita just mentioned the other day that 
her interest would be to visit the Okanagan and I said I didn't think there 
was anyone on the List from there, well, I guess there are Lister all over 
the globe.  So Dennis you just may see us in early March.  As for the winter 
camping, BTDT !  See what we were up to in Algonquin Park back in November by 
going to <A HREF="http://www.ofoto.com/Welcome.jsp">Ofoto</A>, goto members sign-in, log in using [BusFusion@aol.com] for 
the e-mail address and [busfusion] for the password.  Then look at the Mew 
Lake Camping photos !  We will check with Westminster VW to see if those 
Westys their renting come with auxiliary heaters.  If not we will get one of 
those electric ceramic heaters so we should be fine.  So what's the weather 
likely to be in the Okanagan in early March ?  Maybe we should change our 
plans and go to Vancouver Island instead !  Seems to me there are Listers out 
there we can go and bug also !  Meanwhile I gotta get back to working on 
Chris's new Syncro so he can use it the beginning of March !
