Looks great.

I will be over there in a few weeks. Cannot wait!

Just Chicago?

Or you heading anywhere else?

We did Chicago, then Boston and NY.

Where in Chicago are you staying?

Where in Chicago are you staying?

Going all over,

Toronto
Buffalo
Niagara
New York
Chicago
Las Vegas
Grand Canyon
Then back upto Toronto and fly home.

How was Chicago then? Any recommendations on what to do. We're only there a couple of days.

The John Hancock building is cool, and much less busy than the Sears tower.

Check out Lou Mitchells for breakfsat, great diner.

Take ID EVERYWHERE with you in Chicago, a lot of places were very strict on it there, some places wouldn't even accept uk drivers licence only a passport.

Some cool little bars around Chicago too. Check out around the hard rock cafe area at night, some nice places to eat round there, although it doesn't look like the best area.

Sounds like a great trip mate. How long you goin for?

Going for 3 weeks.

I'm only 20 anyway so drinking is well and truly off the cards.

TBH mate, I've not been asked the twice I've been in NYC. They seem quite relaxed with the Brits (in one bar mans words - you handle it a lot better than us).

Fair play mate, good trip. Will be awesome.

We did the Chicago, Boston and NY in 2 weeks.

You're doing some serious travelling in that, you flying between everywhere? Driving?

We drove between Boston and NY, and it made more sense, so when we go back, for any drive that can be done in under 7 hours, it makes more sense to drive than fly.

The Mrs and I are looking at going back next year, possibly Boston, NY and a couple of other cities.

Who you off with?

Me too, beginning of july, going back to visit friends and attend my high school reunion, used to live there back in 1995, amazing city.

If you want a fun meal then head to Dicks Last Resort, good food and the waiting staff are really rude, you can throw napkins at people etc, good fun night out.

I think it depends where you go. I got refused entry into a casino in America when I was 29 - lol! Because I couldn't prove how old I was (passport back at the place we were staying) they said no.

Good pic there Deeg. Was it a 'point & click' shot - you didn't take much time with it? I normally find that I prefer more of my shots that way. You spend time trying to do a good shot and it turns out crap! Then again, I know nowt about photography! :eek:

One of mine that I liked as a quick pic was when we were in Toronto with the CN Tower...

The bean thing was just up the road from our hotel, my Mrs has all the pics from that though. Wondered if they have to clean it, lol.

I quite fancy going back to Chicago, but will have to wait a while.

Going across with family, we are flying in between most of it but we are renting a car for Toronto, Buffalo, Niagara.
