East coast is really sounding better now, sea food is a weakness of mine. A longer trip might be a better vacation anyway... Oh heck ...ether would do.


Remembering my trip to Chicago a few months ago, wasn't much of a trip, but the place is nice

So if we go to Chicago, we gotta stop by 1480's house to see his new kiddo, then when we go to se the Cobia, we gotta stop by lambeau field so I can throw some eggs at it.

Who is getting a rental car? and anybody want to room together? and will there be banana pudding and bbq made by Neal's dad?

Plus, once we pick a place, would it be easier to all stay at one hotel? Would they (the hotel) give us a deal on multiple rooms?

....and if we do the U-505, I wonder if we could get a special tour w/o the #$%% tour guide... and look into the conning tower? If I recall, you have to have their tour guide with you at all times. And don't they picture restrictions now too?

Here's my choice order of sights:

1. New Groton/Conn. USS Nautilus
2. SD. (closer~cheaper plane ticket~Russian sub)
3. Chicago. I gotta see the the U-505's new set up and the Cobia is cool, but not much beyond that?

Just to say hooray for my side, I've created a map showing the advantages offered by New London:



That's Growler, Ling, Nautilus, Lionfish, and Albacore all within a six hour drive. The first nuclear sub, the first submarine with a body-of-revolution hull, an aircraft carrier, a battleship, a half dozen classic sailing ships, the world's oldest commissioned warship, a heavy cruiser in beautiful condition, two destroyers, four mini-subs, two PT boats...and people want to see U-505 and call it a day.

Buncha landlubbers, I tells ya.
