Battleship Cove is a great day out.

Steve that sounds a little bit suss mate

Well, there really isn't anything in Utah worth seeing, at least naval-wise.

Falkirion · 04-20-12, 01:42 AM

Yeah but there's always Area 51, and the Jazz but since the NBA season is over by the time I get there I've got no hope of catching an NBA game.

IF you guys are ever in the Illinois Area, headed towards Chicago, let me know. I'm not exactly a tour guide but I can be helpful in finding Navy Pier, the MSI (Museum of Science and Industry, where the U-505 is) And some other things.

Mostly, I can introduce you to all the cooooooooooooooorn

Falkirion · 07-08-12, 08:19 PM

Any more recommendations? I leave the wintery shores of Australia this week Thursday. Excitement for the trip is building quickly. I do plan to visit the Chicago MSI for U-505 on Saturday or Sunday. Depends on when I get over the jet lag. If any members are up for a trip to see 505 let me know. Just look for the Aussie with a Nikkon D40 DSLR wandering around the museum.

Could hit up Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Arguably one of the most important places of the Manhattan Project.

Spyguy101 · 07-08-12, 09:31 PM

I heard that this is a lovely place

Onkel Neal · 07-08-12, 09:34 PM

How are you getting around? Car? Plane? Houston is only 3 hours west of NO, let me know if you make it this way. There's a submarine and a battleship down here I could show you.

Falkirion · 07-08-12, 10:06 PM

Mostly busses/trains. Don't think I have time left to get an international driving permit which would let me drive around.

I'm visiting Chicago for 5 days, New Orleans for another 5, Orlando for 4, NYC 2 days (returning later in the trip), DC for 5, Boston for 5, Niagra Falls overnight. Toronto for 3 days, then NYC for 5. Cleveland overnight, visiting the USS Cod while I'm there. Toledo/Detroit for a night. Then Hawaii for 2 days where I'm planning on spending a day wandering around the Pearl attack memorial, and I have 4 hours free in LA before I fly home.

Seth8530 · 07-09-12, 08:07 AM

Im not sure if the US really has a really big train system.. We do have buses but I can tell you those things get miserable after awhile but. If you think your up to it have at it ( ;

nikimcbee · 07-11-12, 12:46 AM

Post lots of photos of Pearl Harbo(u)r. I've never been there and I want to go.

Too bad you're not doing the West Coast (Washington and/or Oregon).

You're missing out on this:

Falkirion · 07-11-12, 12:58 AM

Next time Nikki. I do want to check out a few cities and places around the western US.

nikimcbee · 07-11-12, 01:06 AM

Seattle is really cool. Tons to do there.
