    My son suggested Universal Studios Orlando, and I countered with this offer.

    Make sure the trip ends with visiting the grandparents house. When I was growing up there was nothing to do there and I was so bored. I wish I knew then what I know now. No, I'm not crying.

    This trip works out perfectly for visiting the grandparents. The kids don't like that the house smells like grandparents, but they do have internet access.

    I looked at one of the Texas roadtrips on that website and it's pretty much physically impossible to visit all of those places on the same day.

    I don't know what the relevant laws and regulations are in Texas, but you might be able to petition for an extra day.

    Impossible, the way the article is written you have to have the burger in Gruene for dinner after all that exercise.

    It's prettier there than one would think.

    Except for the stink.

    I apologize on behalf of Chicago. I can't promise you it won't happen again. I've only been here for a little more than 2 decades without incident, but you never know.

    i would suggest not hanging around the greyhound station at 2 in the morning. as a local you probably know this.

    Not recently, but I've spent the night in bus stations. There are times when it can' be avoided.

    the reason i was outside was because they wouldn't let me sleep there. even though i had a ticket and was waiting for a bus!

    I'm starting to suspect that tom was actually mugged by Rylo Ken.

    I'm more the pickpocket type to be honest. I don't like weapons.

    Except for the paper mills, pig farms, and Beloit, I have no idea what you're talking about.

    On my first weekend in Chicago, I was invited to go see a band in Iowa City. I didn't think to take ID, as I was in my twenties, so almost wasn't let into the bar when we got there. The motel we stayed overnight was a bit odd too. It looked like it had last been decorated in the 70's, and it had a bunch of Iowa postcards on sale at reception, all pig farm themed - that was when I knew, I was out of my depth.

    Another road trip was one from Chicago, to Crown Point, Indiana. Someone printed me a multimap, and the route looked really inefficient. When I asked why, they told me, it was to avoid Gary, Indiana, as it was the carjacking/murder capital of Murica.
