Thanks everybody, I will take all the advice, I guesss I should watch less shows like NYPD blues and the like, I have often heard that New York is amazing and I intend to go there now for sure. The other places I may or may not hit. We usually don't book anything in advance, we just get in the car, give the kids a rough itinerary and away we go, not realy knowing for sure where we may end up that night. The last trip when we drove from Toronto down through New York State, ,Pennsylvania,all the way down to Mississippi and back up through Arkansas, Missouri etc. was amazing, we met some wonderful people. WE were even invited to move and live among the residents of Crossville Tennessee, another guy in Kentucky wanted me to be his partner selling T-shirts at country fairs . Only Had one disagreement with a tourist in West Virginia who asked me where all the poor people lived, I guess he had just watched some movie like Deliverance, but that was the only negative aspect about the entire trip. Heard some great street musicians at various places and had the best chicken and ribs I ever tasted in Marlowes in Memphis, a few stoplights from Graceland. Note for InOBU, I know the Belfast Seamans Mission, used to drink beer and play snooker there every Wednesday afternoon back in the late 1950's. Thanks again everybody.
