You have to go see a baseball game! Nothing says "America!" as baseball does!
I'll be there from the 23rd June to the 8th July so I'll have two weeks. As for the budget, I'll be able to work that out properly in April. I should be able to afford a couple of cheap journeys out there.
:chuckle: He comes from the land of real football ... and rugby!
The Cubs will be playing the Reds on the 4th, 5th and 6th of July. If you go on the fourth of July it will probably be even more entertaining: that's U.S. Independence Day.
Let us know the states you plan to visit as you decide. You may end up meeting some of us.
Looking forward to seeing some pics.
When I was in England, I tried bangers and mash.
And the beer overseas seemed better to me, especially the Swiss and German brews. :idunno:
Good American beers for you to try while you're here.... :think:
Fat Tire is pretty good. Maybe others will make recommendations.
If you're looking for beer, be sure and make it a microbrewery- we have tons of them, and they are the best!
I could probably come to Chicago for a day.
Cool LMOHM! I'm sure you can find lots to do. I was in Chicago once because my brother used to live there. Your friend will help you know what to do there but a couple fun things I did while I was there was Navy Pier and at night go up to a restaurant at the top of one of the skyscrapers (maybe Sears Tower?). It was really cool to go up and see the city at night.
If you want to see Amish you could come to my stomping grounds.
Great timing. You can celebrate our independence from you! :devil:
It would be great to see you, Delmar. Maybe we could arrange something closer to the time?
Haha, so as kmoney just said I can come and celebrate your independence from us! I hadn't thought about it being Independence Day while I'm there. I guess it will be another part of the cultural experience!
Bangers and mash with lots of onion gravy makes for a great meal! Did you also have a full English breakfast, a roast dinner and fish and chips? :chew:
That's so cool!It's finally happening! After years of saying that I would come and visit the USA, this June I will be crossing the pond in a flying tin can to land in Chicago. I'll be staying with a friend there for two weeks and look forward to experiencing this great country of yours first hand.
I was just wondering if there are any places you recommend I see or things you recommend I do whilst in the US? Also, if any TOLers are interested in meeting me then please do let me know. It would be great to see some of you!
:cheers:

I'm only 5 or 6 hours from Chicago I think
