I'm tossed between Chicago (I'm only 3 hours away) and New London (my mother lives .3 hours away)

I'm surprised the guys at the Nautilus/Sub Force Museum don't know me by name. I've been to Battleship Cove 3-4 times. I'd definitely come, but I'll have to talk to my mother about booking a flight up there.

As for Chicago, I'm not too familiar with the area (but I am with New London, weird) but I've been to the U-505 2-3 times. Last time I was there was a couple years ago. But once we get the transmission fixed on my Olds and depending on whether or not we can convince my girlfriends mother (long story there) I could make the trip myself (hopefully not by myself.)

So I could possibly be at either one of those two, Chicago more likely than New London. I know an army/navy surplus store in Groton that would make quite a few of us military enthusiasts go nuts.
