Jonas and Joan Rappeport understood and insisted on celebrating this reality, and they practiced it to AAPL{\textquoteright}s great benefit. Chief among the ways they did this during the 1990s was to organize a series of seven 10-day excursions, each immediately following an annual meeting of AAPL. Plans were set for an eighth trip, this one to Turkey, but it had to be cancelled because of the 9/11 terror attacks. The other destinations were Italy, Ireland, France, Spain, Costa Rica, China, and central Europe. There was plenty to do and to see as tourists, as well as to exchange more formally with colleagues. On the bus trips between cities, the travelers took part in presenting and discussing their own professional and personal experiences and insights.
