Vacation this spring presented a challenge. With gas prices hovering around $3.50 a gallon, we -- my longtime sweetie Marilyn and I -- didn't think it would be prudent to take a road trip. Recent airline problems made us skittish about flying, and we've grown weary of airport hassles anyway. We did consider a discount fare to New York, but scratched that idea after discovering hotels at this time of year were at least $200 a night if you wanted little luxuries such as working plumbing and locking doors.
