For anybody staying an extra day or two in Chicago, go into this site:  www.chicagogreeter.com.   A volunteer "greeter" will take you on a 2-4 (sometimes longer) tour of whatever area of the city you choose, and bus passes are provided!  Everyone who does it loves it.  It's modeled after "Big Apple Greeters" in New York.

Thanks Sharon!  I just got back from the Big Apple and had no idea they had greeters also.

Hi folks!

I got cleared by the spine doc and I'm good to go.  The ruptured disc that showed up on my MRI is apparantely an old injury (windsurfing, no doubt)and was calcified and asymptomatic for the most part.  I made my airline reservations and signed up for the symposium this afternoon!! Yay! Navy Pier here we come!!  Hope they have a pirate ship or two for me to play on!! Or some sailors to play with.   I'm bringing my Jolly Roger to Chicago and hanging him in my hotel window.

See ya there!!

Pirates are there till Oct 25th.     I just checked the museum website.                  I had a post not too long ago that my Michigan daughter and friend were down and saw it.  Said is more adult orientated than small child.                  There is a very good Harry Potter exhibit at the Science Museum. (not right name exactly)                   I still haven't read my Chicago tourism guide.        Time for that after next week.                                Cheryl R
