Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship.

David figured that I really wanted to go to Chicago with him. So, I took the liberty of checking out some Gray Line tours, that I can occupy my time with while he is busy schooling. I must admit, there is something that reeks senior citizen when I think of a bus tour. Most of them are kind of lame, where the tourist merely rides around and literally drives by the sites without stopping. Frankly, that sounds a little boring to me. Why on earth would I go to a place like Chicago just to ride a bus. I found one tour that sounded promising on a streamliner yacht, but that one only has one stop. It seems that only stops that most of these tours take is to eat, drink, shop or to snap a pic. I mean really, I could eat, drink, shop, take pictures and ride the MTS here at home and have a very different tour than any Gray Line could provide.

This one does sound like fun though.

This way it seems that my sense of adventure would be satisfied. I could come and go as and where I pleased, and obviously the two day pass is the way to go. Best of all, that would make my husband nuts, knowing that I am purposefully roaming about alone in a big bad dangerous city. Heh. Heh. (evil grin)
