I could indeed. What I'd really like to do is to take a cruise on a freighter (container ship). Many such ships these days have a cabin or two for folks who want a quiet, relaxed ocean voyage but can't stand the idea of one of those monster cruise ships. You're one of only a handful of passengers, and you get treated like royalty, eat in the officers' mess, have the run of the ship, get friendly with the crew, stop at non-touristy ports of call. No frills, but supposedly very comfortable accommodations. If anyone here has any recommendations or suggestions along these lines, I'm all ears (eyes). > "It is also the third-wealthiest U.S. state by 2011 median > household income." > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey And most of the state is beautiful. Tourism is one of its leading industries.
