Thank you so much! I have enough flyer miles to make the trip, but have no idea what to do when I get there, I just know Sears and KMart live there . Thanks for the advice!

Yes she does! I am already in love with Sears and KMart, but she actually sent me links for toys I bought the same day. and once goodole312 helped me pick out toddler furniture from KMart too.

I am in Houston all the time, and Lufkin. I'd love to see Austin again someday. . .

You sure love your sports, don't you? LOL. You sent me to KMart once looking for a Baby's first elmo and you may not remember but I will remember forever.

Baby saw a Glow Worm and had to have it. I think she will carry that thing to her high school graduation! i loved the layout of the toy aisle. After your posts, I was more prepared to find the right kinds of toys. . .

I could not imagine dealing with the sea of people in Tokyo, and when I flew into NYC for a project, we wound up relocating to New Jersey to finish our study. I was a lot easier. . . I am live in Nc but I am in TX half the time. or more than half lately. Isn't Austin fun?

You'd think, but not so much. There are like 50 other people on the boat too :) Maybe a gondola or those swan boats would fall more into that romance category. The architecture tour was very good though. Informative and interesting.

Yes. I've been on that tour and it's really very good. My boss suggested it and I wasn't too crazy about the idea but my husband thought it sounded fun so we went and I had a really great time. I highly recommend it. It's nice to see all the architecture from the perspective of being in the river and not just driving or walking past on the street level and it's surprisingly quiet down on the river. We went at the end of September and it was a little chilly.

Sounds romantic!

Oh yes definitely stop by Portillo's for a dog or Italian beef. My hubby ate there twice in one day last time we were in Chicago. Yummy!

...if ever you come by...make sure to pop in portillo's for a super chicago hotdog, with everything....and if you're a pizza lover you ought to try Uno's or Lou Malnati's...and while driving along 290 you might even see John Cusack or Oprah or Rvblue driving by.....
