Reader's Digest CyberSmiles I couldn't decide whether to go to Salt Lake City or Denver for vacation, so I called the airlines to get prices. "Airfare to Denver is $300," the cheery salesperson replied. "And what about Salt Lake City?" "We have a really great rate to Salt Lake -- $99," she said. "But there is a stopover." "Where?" "In Denver," she said.  --Contributed to "Life in These United States" by Chris Lewis Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
