hey there, thanks for the interest here are the answers
What are your interests? Being Ex Brits we are interested in the history
side of things. We live in Chicago so we get the Six flags thing all the
time so it's really just the history stuff.
When are you coming? June 1st - 5th
How long do you plan to stay? 5 days
How will you be arriving? Plane, train from Chicago is too long and the
sleeping car way too expensive for what it is.
There can be a lot of walking involved, will that be a problem? Nope we are
pretty fit and like walking.
I just finished reading the article about Jamestown in the National
Geographic, seems that the settlers weren't complete muppets after all,
there were excellent reasons to set up the settlement where they did. I
thought they were just lazy and stupid. I also was amazed how much the worms
they brought with them, changed the environment. The web site you sent is a
great start thanks.
