Cheerio!

I am at the Midland Mainline train station, buying tickets for our trip to Nottingham on Thursday. I have an hour to pass as Unit was allowed to visit the Crime Museum at Scotland Yard. Halfunits cannot go in... :(

The Tube is great - it smells sometimes, but what are you gonna do?

Thank JuJu for the internet/airport tip, and thanks to all those who said hi!

More later! (I will be home Saturday morning... I hear Tony Blair is coming Stateside... Unit and I are trying to hitch a ride, lol...)

At the library in a small town in central Illinois. Went to a great place for lunch Monday but don't have time to write it up. Let's just say it was an authentic step back in time. Place called Moonshine, out there on the Illinois prairie. Anybody who can find it on Google and post a link, feel free to do so.

Okay, I found it rather quickly: Moonshine

Hi Juju! That made me hungry. When will you be home? This intermitent posting of yours is just not right.

I'm wondering if JUJU remembers when Central Illinois was called "Forgotonia" and wanted Chicago to be its own state? Forgotonia is a great image for that area...vast open fields, tiny towns...bad roads cause all the tax money goes up Chicago-way!

There are GREAT Amtrak routes, though, as the lines from Chicago to St. Louis cut right through the farmland.

When I go there I have to use my parents dial-up cause NONE of the internet companies have a local number (or even close to a local number) for that area.

I'll have to give "Moonshine" a try next time I'm back in the area.

Did you float down the Illinois River yet? :)

Would anyone be interested in a virtual road trip? In the Games folder, there is a thread regarding an online Amazing Race starting soon, and more teams are needed! Check it out!!
