Guesses for new set:

82. dunno
83. floors
84. USA
85. elf
86. Alf
87. Seattle - Have never seen it
88. foo-foo drinking water
89. Maui - we have driven it in a rented bright yellow Corvette convertible - best $200 I ever spent. We stopped in Maui on a cruise ship and I rented the Corvette for Bigdog to drive the Hana Highway. Oh it was a miserable trip. We didn't fit in the car. There was not enough room for my legs, and Bigdog's torso would not allow the top to be put off, so off we went sweating under the blazing sun. Oh, and the seats were uncomfortable. BUT, that wonderful trip did end all talk of Bigdog getting a Corvette. Thank you, baby Jeepbus. Did I mention it takes about 5-6 hours to drive the Hana Highway because of all the one lane switchbacks?
90. Chicago - one of the best things about leaving Illinois was no interminable discussions of whether Uno's or Due's pizza was better.
