Info below taken from LittleEgypts site. We would love to have some of our Xanga friends meet up with us while we are in the United States. Check out the schedule below. There will of course be some changes between now and nearer the time. Terry
You might call this a potluck
AND
I'm Bringing the PineApple
This is the schedule so far and, right now, it is subject to some change, meaning we still have some days/dates to work out. All changes are worked out between Terry the PineApple and myself. Suggestions are welcome but the final word stops here.
If you as a Xangan and would like to meet Terry and are close to any of the things we have planned, you are welcome to become a part of his visit. (In general, I am speaking of ... Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Ohio and Rockford, Chicago, Gallena, Illinois. We will be driving through Indianapolis and stopping at an old steel diner for lunch. We have to eat and you may still be on our way. You could meet up with us for a meal just off the driven route.). I have not as yet ordered our tickets for Tecumseh but will be doing so very soon. If you want to pay my paypal account with ticket money for that outdoor drama so we can buy seats together, (all reserved) I will work with you. I am including links to scheduled events. You have to work with me to be a part of some of them, sitting with us etc. Please email to me, your intents so you are expected. A Pot luck is, more or less, in the works and if you would like to be a part of that, it will be in my sister's home in Rockrord, Illinois. NO SMOKING OR DRINKING is the rule. You will have to email me for information. I will update this as I know more.

Motel for the night ...
Saturday September 3, 2005 Our drive towards Rockford, Illinois will be long. From Cincinnati straight thru its 8 or more hours. We are farther NE in Chillacothe and so it will be longer. We will be stopping for meals, looking for old Steel Diners and photo opportunities for that Americana feeling. I remember a lot of it, I was raised just up a hill from an old Diner and a favorite thing was to eat there. We will also need some leg stretching. Rockford will be late that night I am sure of it.

An EDIT, MOVING THE TRIP INTO CHICAGO, TO THE 11TH AS, WE HAVE ALL DECIDED WE WILL NEED A DAY OF REST AFTER THE DRIVE TO ROCKFORD AND PREVIOUS OUTTINGS.
Monday, September 5, 2005 ... Not sure what today will bring as we decided to rest on Sunday. This day may have some planning changes. We will be thinking about it and edit as necessary. So far, thinking we need a bit of quiet today so will be staying closer to home, doing some American cooking and some movie watching and a little computing. If the powers that be can see it clear, a potluck at Bunhilda's house for any Xangans who can find their way there. Write to me people ....

1- Drive from Rockford to Chicago, meals on the way and while there.
2- Lake Shore Drive and beach for photography. We can only do one beach and if someone is familiar with these that are listed, we want a good view of the great lake and good photography opportunity. I would appreciate a guide dog comment concerning what might be the best place to take Terry to see what we can see of a Great Lake and maybe a food guide as well. Chicago area is a one day thing as we have other plans as well. Money is a consideration. We do have limits but we trying for a really good experience for Terry and ourselves. Help up out, give us the pleasure of your company, contact us.
