I'm only one man.....
Hello wonderful readers! Alas, spring in upon us and one's thoughts drift to a wonderful tradition: spring break. So I find myself in a dilemma. Carleen has the following two (2!) weeks off. Normally, as per my recent layoff, I would be available at this time, too. But as it stands I have some previously arranged commitments for the days of Monday 4/11-Friday 4/15. I am free the after that for the following week and we're headed to Cincinnati for a bridal show(er) on the 16th. In the meantime, I've been entrusted to devise a plan for a brief getaway from Chicago starting tomorrow, Saturday, and returning to Chicago Monday, early afternoon. So.......
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?!?!?!?!?!
I'd like you're input. I'd like to drive no more than 5 hours and prefer heading south, as it's warmer there and Carleen likes it warm. A b&b of course would be nice. So far I've looked into Quincy, IL and Hannibal, MO. Any input from any of your travels in down-state Illinois, just across the boarder in to Missouri, or even (I can't believe I'm writing this) Indiana would be highly valued. Your haste in the matter, too, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks trusted sidekicks.
Smarts! Get'em while there hot!
Torquato Tasso (11 March 1544 – 25 April 1595) was an Italian poet of the 16th century, best known for his poem La Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem Deliver, 1580), in which he depicts a highly imaginative version of the combats between Muslims and Christians at the end of the First Crusade during the seige of Jerusalem. He suffered from mental illness and died a few days before he was due to be crowned as the king of poets by the Pope. Until the beginning of the 19th century, Tasso remained one of the most widely read poets in Europe.
