Then there is The Constitution docked right in Charlestown just across the river from Bostons Logan Airport.

According to a national poll 2 weeks ago, RI had the nations worst drivers. You may stand the best chance of living longer if you choose Boston. I'm partial as I used to live closeby.

That's only because here in Mass we've already culled out the weaklings.

What kind of beer and other libations do you people favor?

Normally I'd answer "Newcastle Brown Ale" but I found that on draught (can you believe that!!) in Houston and introduced KL and Privateer to it.

BIG MISTAKE!!.....IT OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T TRAVEL WELL< ESPECIALLY OUT OF A BOTTLE

So my answer would be "If it's cold and wet then it's certainly worth a try"

Beer doesn't travel well and i'm told the best batches aren't exported but i'm sure we can find a local micro-brew that would be suitable for ya Mate!

Your good health Sir

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard 2011!

Yeah, I called it. HMS Victory, Warrior, the monitor M33, the Royal Naval Museum, the wreck of the Mary Rose, and just across the harbor from the Museum of Naval Firepower and the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.

And in 2012, Neal can bribe the curator at the San Diego Maritime Park to let us climb up to Surprise's main topgallant mast and pretend to be Russell Crowe...even if that involves throwing our cell phones at visitors and making them stand at attention for us.

Sound like a plan?

I was to late for the voting

, but New London sounds good to me.
I have never been to America and this a very good reason to go

.

nikimcbee · 03-09-10, 01:23 PM

Any new decisions? When and where? Just looking to start eyeing tickets.

....and Texas is Southwest's destination of the month.

Need any cavalla help.

@ August The promise of a Barbecue\Clambake swung my vote two pages back.

That 'cheesy' grin is sure to attract KC

Sorry I'm late to the party.
No internet for nearly a year!
However,
Both the ones not in California I could manage.
Was planning a trip to Chicago anyway.

I plan to attend, but it will come down to the wire as to the money angle.
Business has been tough for a year but it's getting better!

KeptinCranky · 03-10-10, 06:56 PM

Hah! I saw that Jim, and I'll have you know that it's my feet that are cheesy

I'm definitely very interested, New London and surroundings seem to have some interesting stuff on offer.

Count me in !

Chad · 03-10-10, 09:21 PM

Well we should find out where it is in a few weeks, and you were right Jimbuna
