...vacationers, bareboating can satisfy wanderlust while supplying most of the comforts of a top beach resort. Many of the yachts come equipped with such amenities as freezers, stereos and video recorders, and are custom-designed to make sailing relatively easy. With a push of a button, the commodore can weigh anchor and head for open water. Says Normand Bremner, 51, a Dallas anesthesiologist who was cruising the Grenadines last week: "Bareboat sailing is like a luxurious type of camping. You fend for yourself, do what you want, and you don't have to worry about putting up your tent...
...finally tired of bars, and the serenity of camping bores you., then call Pa Legal at Wanderlust Adventures (303-484-1219) to sign up for a whitewater raft trip. Following Route 40 west in Northern Colorado, turn onto Route 318 at Maybell. A spectacular drive down the vermillion bluff will lead you to The Gates of Ledore, huge rocks, and your dock on the Green River. You'll spend three days with eagles and sheep and enough sleepers and rapids to make you happy to get back to the safety of Cambridge. Not only is Legal an expert raftsman...
Inspired by such cosmic wanderlust, Reagan is ready to move on from the space shuttle to what NASA calls the "next logical step": a permanent manned space station.

A few months later, just as they were finishing their new three-bedroom house, they again got wanderlust. With their daughter and the two boys who had been born in Alaska, they moved to Las Vegas, where Marino ran a gas station. "We wanted to show our kids there was something more than just Trapper Creek," says Carol. They stayed three years, then moved back to the homestead...
...onion caught on around the South, but did not move outside the region unless Southerners felt the pull of wanderlust, taking with them strong opinions on what constituted a good onion: the Vidalia. Now stores from Manhattan to Miami, Los Angeles to Seattle, sell Vidalias, real and counterfeit. The growers and the Chamber of Commerce here say the real Vidalia is raised within a 35-mile radius of Vidalia. Growers who belong to the Chamber's tag program produce onions that are graded and approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and bear a tag with the trademark Yumion...
