If you are going to visit Rochester and Buffalo, then you should make the short trip to Jamestown and Chautauqua, especially during the summer when the season is in full swing at Chautauqua. Lucy fans can visit the Lucy-Desi Museum in Jamestown. "Thater, William" wrote: Ari D Kaplan wrote:

If you like the coast you really should go check out the Atlantic provinces. The nice thing about it is you can see 4 provinces in a relatively short time span. I would definitely go in the summer though (unless you are a huge fan of snow). -Original Message- Sent: Friday, March 16,
