So ... if it were a blizzard .... how would the pizza be delivered?
And would this mean that I would need to start to drink adult drinks ... to warm up?
oh my goodness!! pizza is always delivered!!!!
you don't need to drink adult drinks, but it sure is nice when you're stuck inside with all that pizza and it's snowing outside!
ok .. adding Denver back on

Creeky has enough frequent flyer points for a freebie return trip to LAX from Sydney and wants to plan a trip to use them next year
.
I am looking for maybe some slightly different places to visit this time around.
Places I have already visited are :
LA
San Fran
Vegas
Chicago
NYC
DC
All of Florida
Atlanta
Charleston
San Antonio
Houston
New Orleans
San Diego
Phoenix
Sedona
I am most likely going to go to San Antonio, Houston and Denver at this point.
Looking for other suggestions. I do travel on a budget, so places like NYC are too expensive for me if I have to pay for hotels etc. (our dollar value etc).
I am also not a museum person ... or look at this beautiful building person .. or lets go hiking person .... I am just a "where is the closest Walmart" person
that likes to meet people!
I suppose Girdletree Maryland isn't top on your list
Girdletree????
Never heard of it .. but if it is near Anapolis - it has a chance - been there and seen all the Navy boys
Girdletree is in the DeMarVa peninsula (Delaware, Maryland & Virginia) It's near Snow Hill and Pokomoke City. I'm sure that cleared it all up
Here's everything you never wanted to know
http://www.worcestercountyonline.com/le ... seums.html Well I guess it's not really that much info.
Will look tonight - just curious why you mentioned it?
My Grandfather was from there. He met my grandmother in Inwood, Long Island, NY. My grandmother died in the 1918 flu epidmic leaving him with 3 children. When he remarried he moved back to Girdletree and brought the kids with him. My dad kept running away from the farm, hopping freight trains, back to Inwood to live with my Great Grandmother. But I was only kidding with you there's nothing to do in Girdletree. All that's there now is a church, post office, fire house and the Barnes Bank.

Memphis has not only Graceland, but many Walmarts !!! Our preacher is the one who marries people at the Graceland chapel. The Sirius all-Elvis channel is broadcast from across the street.
And I'm only 2 hours away...my son and daughter-in-law should have their baby girl by the end of January, so any excuse to go to Memphis is fine with me !!!
And October would be a good time to go to the Smoky Mountains/Gatlinburg. You can drive a little while over to Asheville, North Carolina and visit the Biltmore Mansion, the largest privately-owned home in the country. It has a great winery, restaurants, tours, many things. The mansion will take your breath away.

COME TO IOWA, and I'll make you the BIGGEST pork tenderloin sandwich.
It's to die for.
And you KNOW I'd never live anywhere where there wasn't at LEAST three Super Wal Marts within 25 miles.
(And I'm only 3 hours from Jim & Christi).

I'm guessing it's someone who watching the leaves change color...the smokey mountains are a beautiful area to see the fall!
