Surveys, we’ve got surveys. For example:

42 percent of Americans want to go to Cuba (6,200 respondents, TripAdvisor.com poll).

Canada is the country consumers from 20 nations would like to visit the most if money were no object. Lithuania was the least desired (Athol-GFK Roper Nation Brand).

San Diego is the top summer road-trip destination, and Philadelphia is No. 2, according to hotel transactions (Hotwire.com).

75 percent of cruise travelers book their cruises through travel agents (Cruise Lines International Association).

A scenic road rally through Southeastern Indiana on Saturday will raise money for victims of house fires and disasters in Dearborn and Ohio counties. The rally, sponsored by American Red Cross chapters in those counties, begins at 9 a.m. at South Dearborn High School in Aurora and ends at the Pavilion on the Ohio River in Rising Sun.

Participants earn points for prizes in a scavenger hunt while driving the route. Minimum donation is $75 per car. Register at (812) 623-5727 or (812) 537-9036.

The artwork of music legends John Lennon, Grace Slick, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia will be on display next weekend in the Oscar Wilde Ballroom of The WIT Hotel in Chicago. Hours: 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 31. For information, call (888) ART-1969.
