During at least one summer in your life, you've got to attend Chautauqua
Chautauqua in upstate New York is a summer (June 25 to August 24, in 2007) vacation destination so popular that it always sells out long before its opening date -- you'll need to book almost immediately. Essentially, Chautauqua invented the "learning vacation" more than a century and a quarter ago. The core of its program is a body of some 400 classes in every conceivable subject ranging over a nine-week period. For as long as you wish to stay, at extremely moderate rates ($15 a day for daytime admission, not including room and meals), you enjoy a verdant campus with golf, boating and swimming, as well as lectures delivered by nationally recognized names ranging from Nobel laureates to Supreme Court justices to (this year) the Governor of New York State. You also have access to reasonably-priced concerts, films and plays, at an extra charge for evening events. If you'd like to know more about Chautauqua, log on to www.ciweb.org.
