THE BEST WAY

From LAX, connecting service (change of plane) to Huntsville, Ala., is offered on American, Continental, Delta, United and US Airways. Restricted round-trip fares begin at $208.

NAVIGATING SPACE CAMP

Reservations can be made online at www.spacecamp.com. The three-day program, offered year round, costs $349 a person and includes room, meals, admissions to Imax movies and the museum and a souvenir photo.

Parents who cannot bear the thought of sleeping in the Space Camp dorms can stay at the Huntsville Marriott, 5 Tranquility Base, (888) 236-2427 or (256) 830-2222, www.marriott.com, which is just adjacent to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Doubles start at $140 a night.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
