I am unsure how far you would want to be traveling, however I just wanted to throw out a couple of travel ideas to you.

1. Hershey, PA - maker of Hershey Chocolates. A theme park, chocolate factory, and town (w/shopping) all evolving around the theme of their chocolates. check outwww.hersheys.com for more info.

2. Lancaster, PA- home of the Amish. Yes, there is a lot more, but the main attraction is the amish and their paradise. I will let you find out more by following the link if you are interested Lancaster County Information

I am sure others can think of something better just thought I'd get some ideas thrown out.

Hersey park?!

in MARCH?!

I dont think so!

[Pâzinha]

what do you suggest we do? or where should we go?

[KenWittlief]

The most obvious answer is that trenton is about an hour away from New York City

if you only have monday, it would be difficult to squeeze in a bus trip there and back in one day, but I suppose it could be done.

(BTW - Hershey park is an amusment park, with rollercoasters and rides and stuff - Im 99.9999999999% certain they are not open in march :c)

I think we are going to New York, but what can we the days that we are going to stay in Trenton (in case we stay to have time to visit places)? thanks for the help anyway...

Actually... Different parts of Hershey are open year around - expecially downtown Hershey, Chocolate World, and portions of the park will occassionally open - in addition to special events such as Christmas in Hershey and the Botanical Gardens (yes, I know they will not be at this time). I was just trying to get some ideas out, and thought it might spark some ideas in others.

There would be plenty for all to see and do in New York, and I hope you have a great time in the US.

There is a good bit of American History in Philly.

Maybe next year we could entice you to the Annapolis regional, which is only an hour or so away from Washington DC, which has alot of FREE museums, like The Air and Space Museum, which is about the coolest museum I've ever been too. Along with all the rest that DC has to offer.

Unfortunatly, I don't have much to say about things to do in the Garden State.

Dear Brazilian teams,

Sorry for the late response but I wanted to clear things with my boss before we committed.

Team 25, Raider Robotix, formally invites your teams to visit our school and be our guests on Monday afternoon after the NJ Regional. We will need to plan out the logistics of doing this but we certainly would like to have you over to our school and have you see what high school in our part of the world is all about.

I figure we can have a cultural exchange get together of some sort followed by a play time with our 4 archived robots and then kick back with some pizzas. Maybe we can also invite a few friends from other teams over in the after school time to get involved.

We are about 1/2 hr drive north from Trenton. PM me if this interests you and we can set it up.

Dear Chuck,
My deepest apoloies but I a afraid that team 25 CANNOT host the Brazilian teams next monday after the NJregional.. I am gong into my second week of hospitalization and it is likely now that I will miss the regional itself. I cant expect to have my substitutes set up a guest reception.

Once again, I am very sorry
