Trip

[threemeninaboat]

My sister and I trying to go on a short trip May 11-14. All the cheap places to fly from Denver we cannot agree on.

LA? Went 2 years ago.
Austin? Roz: "Not Texas. No deserts. I am not going to the desert."
Roz wants Chicago. I think there's nothing in Chicago but food.
San Diego? Zoo. Maybe but expensive.

The east coast is an option, but again pricy flights.

We both want to check out Savannah. But the plane tickets are pricy.
Montreal? As much as it cost me to fly to Spain....

Roz also votes for Seattle/Portland. I tried to tell her that Austin is Portland only warm.

You should have seen the look I got when I said, "There's a bike path across Kansas!"

Ideas? Where are the super cheap flights?

There's plenty to do in Chicago. Just off the top of my head, there's the Art Institue, one of the country's great art museums and schools. Since you mentioned zoos, I'll point out that the city has two zoos, the Brookfield Zoo (large, nationally-famous) and the Lincoln Park Zoo (kinda small, but not bad). There's also the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum (natural history).

Given a little time, I could think of more to do in Chicago; I lived there for six years.

And you may recall my various adventures with art museums in DC and NYC, so if you are willing to pay to go back east, you'll find plenty to see in both cities.

I came here to say that there is lots of stuff in Chicago.

Not to mention the bike path along Lake Michigan, the incredible shopping, drinks at the Sears Tower (or whatever it's called now), the FOOD, the crazy hipster bookshops and cafes... Chicago is a lot of fun.

Roz looked up the Shedd Aquarium and saw that they have a special exhibit on jellyfish right now. Roz loves jellyfish like woah.
I guess we're going.
Next year though, I'm demanding Harry Potter in Orlando (who the hell else am I going to get to go on rides with me?!) and a road trip up the coast to Savannah.

Yay, jellofish!
