O.K., I'm thinking about making my first excursion into the hobby while I'm up in PA in early-mid Nov. I'd appreciate any words of wisdom from this board as I try to select a FS provider who enjoys the Mediterranean. I've been reading the newbie boards and provider reviews, but I'd like the insight of the locals, including providers (since I like to look at all points of view). Thanks and sorry if I sound like such a newbie!
