You are exactly right, these people who have a port within a few hours drive have GOT IT MADE. I hope they realize how lucky they are. I live in Missouri, smack dab in the middle of the country. There is no cheap vacation place that is close. I'm flyin wherever I go, and even a few weeks out is very expensive. Maybe we could dig a canal from the midwest that dumps out into the gulf somewhere...Carnival are you hearing me, big money opportunity here
