When I requested a "full report" I didn't mean in literally! But I'm glad you did and I'm glad your experience was overall positive. I would suggest on your next trip that you see some of the rest of the country. There are certain landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc. that are truly unique and spectacular. I live near Chicago, which is a spread out New York with affordable food...

I share your opinion of New Yorkers as well. They have a bad reputation but most every time that I've visited, I've found the locals very friendly and accomodating.

I'm back with the MFAC's so I have to keep this short. Let me just say that it was a great pleasure to meet you and Jo. You're welcome anytime to visit...
