Well, having never been to the state of NY, I think it will be interesting to see.  What I am really looking forward to is the shopping.  As for Chicago, the only thing I have ever seen there is the inside of O&quot;Hare airport.  I&#39;m really not much of a &quot;big city&quot; girl either, but I think I can suffer thru a few days. <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' />.   Mary Lou. my friend lives on Tanglewood Dr.  Can&#39;t tell you where that is as I haven&#39;t been there.  She and her hubby own a pizza restaurant named Mama Rosario&#39;s - they are very Italian.  I am just sitting here waiting on the carpet layers. He called at 7:15 this morning for directions and said he would be here in less than 30 minutes.  It is now 8:30 and no sign of anyone.  What is the deal with contractors and time???  Looks like a beautful week.  Now that I said that, here they are, so have a great day everyone....
