Time to go to Indianapolis for Thanx; return Friday.

850-851 anyone? Anyone here really think I'm using it?

Were I in Chicagoland I would definately take an excursion to ride the dome.......

But I believe I would not plan any itinerary involving 850-851.

Zipping down to St. Louis or Carbondale perhaps.... but not 850-851.

After getting to St Louis, I recommend a short junket on the Missouri River Runner, like I just took. The Doubletree Inn in Jefferson City is quite reasonable and makes a nice breakfast omelette, and there is a very good Greek pizza place nearby too, Harris Pizza, Arris Pizza, something like that. They also do tours of the prison on certain nights. And the towns of Washington and Herman looked quite nice too.

I would enjoy spending some time in St. Louis and Kansas City both before much longer...... both are pretty pricey cities for hotels however.
