1. The nice thing about the mind trip, is it does not have a temporal boundry

2. However, the State Department has issued warnings as to what countries to avoid on mind trips.
Well, at least I've imagined that it has. ;-)

3. Try
* sunshine
* hammock
* a few gin & tonics (or your favorite)
* good book

Not exactly Cancun, but still very pleasant.

5. I like Bill Hicks' idea better - families should stay home and take mushrooms. Let's trip together.
"You see son it's only the illusion we are all separate beings when in fact we're one subconscious!"
"Cool dad!"
"Hey anyone get the impression the walls are breathing?"
