The Hartford Mark Twain House is offering a July 5-12 Delta Queen cruise,
including a July 7 stop in Hannibal for National Tom Sawyer days.  $1465
minimum, double occupancy, includes air fare from Hartford.  Contact AAA
Group Travel (203) 236-3261, or in Connecticutt (800) 842-4320, ext. 4334
or 4333.  I went on a shorter cruise with the House in '92.  Worth every
penny.

For those limited by time or money, the April '96 "Family Fun" magazine
has a weekend itinerary for a car trip from St. Louis to Hannibal and
back.  Written by Lori Erickson, author of _The Mighty Mississippi: A
Traveler's Guide_.  Includes a one-hour ride on the _Mark Twain_ riverboat
which is worth its $8 ticket.

Enjoy Twain and the River,
