Paul, The organizers do have some tourist activities built into the conference itself. There is that awesome banquet (known to Prof Clower as the "beach banquet") which is a definite! There is a rumor about a surfing contest as well. The Austrian oriented scholars will be trying to discover when the wave crests and what the Central Bank has done to cause the wave in the first place, the Post Keynesians will be encouraging the Austrians to become bolder in their crest and exercise their "animal spirits" to the fullest, the libertarians will be privatizing parts of the beach for future generations, and the Whig historians will be spending most of their time digging for ancient gold. I intend to be there sifting the sands of time. Best wishes. ______________- Laurence S.
