They keep it light and lively— Wisconsin Dells and The Cave WBBM in their own words. I recall we did a show earlier this spring on the Dells, didn’t we? Yes, we did, and we suggested that everybody should charge up to Wisconsin Dells because it was too far, so it’s not an expensive trip, a back easy weekend trip, and we recommended that everybody go in June and beat crowd. So we went in August and joined the crowds.

Short, warm, and very much 1960s— Mal and Jo in Chinatown in Chicago (ends Abruptly–tape broke?) in their own words. Don’t ask me what kind of China because I’ve never been on the mainland and this is one of those areas you can’t reach but we are on the...
Short, warm, and very much 19xx— Quebec City (Part 1) in their own words. But the other day we got to talking about a trip we took two years ago to Quebec City, Carnival. And we couldn’t find a place to stay in one of the big hotels and then right now I’m very glad of it because we were able to stay in a private home. Yes and you really don’t park on the streets in Quebec City.
A quick slice of the late‑60s— 1968 Hilton Head Island in their own words. We want to tell you about a trip We took a year ago that took us into an area that my wife had been researching for some time Magazines began to be left open at my side of the table and up on my headboard And there was a kind of a concerted Education campaign for a place called Hilton Head Island And you know there still aren’t too many people who know where it is when the topic comes up people say Where’s that Hilton Head Island is in South Carolina, but just off the coast of Georgia and It’s a fabulous spot. It seems to me for a family vacation be great for couples but we took all of our children and we did it during spring vacation which I think is the duriest time of the whole year here because it isn’t really spring yet and Everybody’s sort of sick and tired of winter So it’s a good time to get away and the weather at that time of year at Hilton Head just spectacular We flew from Chicago down to Atlanta You can then pick up another flight and fly from Atlanta to Savannah Georgia But since we had not driven across that part of the southeast from Atlanta to coastline We rented a Hertz car piled our suitcases right in at the airport and then with our roadmap took off We got down to Atlanta about nine o’clock in the morning We run away by about 9 30 and it took the better part of the day. Yes, the roads are not great I mean there are no super highways that leads you directly to Hilton Head So if you don’t want to drive across Georgia, you’d better just fly all the way to Savannah And then it’s I think 20 or 25 miles from there and though it is an island There’s a bridge out to it.

This one drops you right into their day— 1968 Weekend in Wisconsin and Wulffs Island Inn in their own words. You know, where you can leave Chicago or this part of the country on a Friday afternoon and get where you’re going by supper time and bed down in a nice place and be assured that you’ll find one or two interesting spots for meals and maybe a little sightseeing along the way. And we came upon Wolf’s Island Inn. Well, when I was young, a teenager, we used to think it was great and exciting to go out to Wolf’s Island for dinner.
