We had talked about our traveling plans with close ...

... other if it were longer and we want to be friends after this and 2) we're cheap! This trip will be a good test for us to see how we would manage being roommates. Yes, we are continuing our quest of really becoming Will &amp; Grace. <br><br>This trip could not come at a better time for us. For those of you who have not heard, Unilever announced last Tuesday that they're closing our office and moving us to New Jersey. The ...

... a tourist attraction which may have had some bearing on it. Tracey got a Chicago dog &#8211;<br>Sausage, huge pickle, hot/spicy green thingys, chopped onion &amp; something else unidentifiable. I got a Green Bay hot dog which is just a basic hot dog but covered in melted cheese. I also ordered Cheddar Fries which is fries covered in...yes you guessed it, cheddar cheese. No wonder we saw loads of heart defibrillators about the place!<br><br>We then walked to the end of the pier, and all the ...

... br><br><br>Crossed over the Mississippi river as we drove into the state of Wisconsin. Took an exit of the Interstate to the 'Happy Trails Diner' which was attached to a gas station at Sparta. Food was yummy, with very large servings! Waitress amused Fred and I as everywhere you go in the states when you say 'Thank-you' to someone, you can almost guarantee that they'll reply 'You're Welcome' &#8211; well not this waitress! Every time we said ...

... in their blogs. Some of them are pretty funny!!! The next stop was Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park & Wildlife Safari, A Drive-through Wildlife Adventure. It was very COOL! You drive your own car through four miles of scenic prairies and wetlands filled with North American animals. We saw bison, elk, pronghorn, deer and cranes roaming right outside our car window!

Good 'Ole pain in my side Chiacago O'Hare I have 30 minutes to Depland, hit the head, grabe my $950 deli sandwich and bottled water, and hustle it over from gate K19 to G10. If you have not been to American's O'Hare terminal, let me just tell you, they ...

Finally Home!!! I'll give a full wrap up later, but just wanted to let you know that I'm back home safe in Northbrook, after a very eventful day of flying. Do not ever fly Iberia. It is one of the worst airlines both in customer service and on-board flying that I have ever experienced. We arrived at the airport over 2 hours before our scheduled direct flight from Madrid to Chicago, only to find out that it had been overbooked and ...

... 60 North Face backpack, but I can't fit everything in that I wanted to take so I'll have to leave some stuff at home. I realize that we are going to Europe, and not a desert, so there will be places to buy things along the way. There just won't be anyplace to put them in my fully loaded backpack.
