Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 04, 2009 3:33 pm) It's worth $100 just to get some crab cakes.   I wonder if the Food Network has a travel agency....

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 04, 2009 3:33 pm) You can hang out at the Inner Harbor--there's also an aquarium and a science center and I think you can hire a water taxi to motor around, which is fun.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 04, 2009 3:33 pm) Most of the tourist attractions in Baltimore, such as the wonderful aquarium, are in and near the Inner Harbor. Of course, Baltimore is only one hour from either Washington or Annapolis, so there's plenty to see and do in the general area.

Sorry for the similarity between Shifty's suggestions and mine, but I hadn't read Shifty's message before writing mine. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 05, 2009 8:32 am)

Replying to: hpmctorque (Jun 04, 2009 5:58 pm) Yes but you did a better job I was only trying to redeem myself for having bashed San Diego.   Speaking of Carmel----if you want to stay at one of the best camping spots in the world, try Kirk Creek in Big Sur. There's also the Henry Miller Museum nearby, a most eccentric little shack filled with Miller memorabilia, and if you're tired of camping you can book the Director's House at the Asilomar Conference Center---sleeps six, right near the beach for $300 a night, with kitchen, fireplace and nearby recreation center--and you can walk along a boardwalk all the way to Spanish Bay and even beyond--miles and miles and miles. Or rent a bike there and do it that way.
#82 of 86 Chicago by jlbl Jun 06, 2009 (10:58 am)
My wife and I will visit Chicago for ten days next October, mixing work with diversion. Which places should we don't miss? — Inclusive of restaurants, bars, jazz-clubs, theaters, museums, streets/buildings, sightseer spots, whichever.   As well, to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, we've planned touring through South Africa next August. Most of the urban time there will be spent in Cape Town. Mr. Shiftright, you mentioned Cape Town recently. Any special advice for us to follow?   Regards, Jose   PS: In NYC there is an interesting but not well known museum in the premises of the Hispanic Society of America: hispanicsociety wikipedia Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 06, 2009 11:31 am)

Replying to: jlbl (Jun 06, 2009 10:58 am) I haven't been to Capetown since year 2000, so I can't say too much. You can consult here:    Southafrica.net   I think due to recent currency drops, the place is actually affordable once again (used to be very $$$). There's a botanical garden that's quite something, and hiking on Table Mountain. You can go horsebacking riding at Noordhoek Beach and get a fabulous lunch at Noordhoek's Food Barn. There's also a wine route you can tour. It's really beautiful there if you are a nature lover. As they say "Part Alaska, part Big Sur".

Has anyone been to the Schlumpf museum before, and if so, could a basic overview be done in 3 hours? I am afraid I might not be able to spare much more time than that, or my tight itinerary will be messed up   Also, any tricks for being able to get a specific car from a rental agency? Maybe call a few days ahead and arrange for one to be there?
