i'd enjoy it, there's an AA conference there in november every year,

maybe i'll go out there one year and stay. i want to finish my

phila. experience first, and i'd like to do the parks in florida for

a summer or so.

 

but yea, the whole hawaii idea sounds excellent, maybe i'll be able

to do it at some point.

i'd like to come, but i'll have to plan on it as " at some point "

though.

i found a couple free cherry trees on a side street in old town,

phila. and a blackberry tree on spring garden ave., but it general it

is very rare to find free wild fruit in a major city.

 

but hawaii sounds ideal, i have to get there at some point.

 

thanks for the info,
