With the recent comments about vacations, it seems appropriate to mention the travel web site www.spacefuture.com. It was brought to my attention in a recent Ebsco futures' Alert in a little blurb from CANADIAN BUSINESS (4/25/2005) entitled "Beware of zero-gravity pickpockets." Many may already know abut the web site. As a scifi fan I enjoyed my clicking-trip which required no dramamine. If you are not taking off to Eurpoe, Costa Rica, Greece, or even the Tetons, you could take a pre-space flight clicking-trip around the site.

The adventuresome may be interested in the 7-Up Soda Contest for a space trip in a suborbital vehicle in the not so distant future. There is currently no information on just which vehicle is partnered with 7-Up but you have until August 31, 2005 to get your entries postmarked! The 7-Up article can be found in the Space Future Journal list accessed from the site's home page.

Happy traveling,
