long weekend--where to go?
 

We have plane tickets we must use before July 31, 2002, and are trying to find a good place to visit for 2-3 days. We don't want to have to rent a car. We are adults who like museums, outdoor activities, and historic sites. Our choices are: Chicago, Hartford CT, Louisville KY, Providence RI, and St. Louis MO. Thanks for any input!

Of those cities, I would go to Providence RI.<BR>http://www.providenceri.com/

From those choices I would also go to Providence. I really like Washington D.C for a quick break

I would go to Chicago----lots to do and good restaurants. Second choice would be Providence.

I second Chicago. Lots to do and you certainly don't need a car. Look into the CityPass for museums. Check out the architectual boat tour. Lots of good restaurants.

I wuld reccomend RI, but it is very car oriented. You can definitely do Chicago without a car and it is a city worth visiting.

St. Louis has soem great museums and historic sites, but you need a car. If you want to walk everywhere, you should probably go somewhere else.

Providence or Boston

how about philadelphia?

Unfortunately, the airline doesn't fly direct to philadelphia, or that would be an option also. Thanks everyone for the great input. I think we're going to Providence. It looks like they have a great trolley system that you can hop on and off all day as it makes stops to area attractions. Also, there is a ferry that goes to Newport, and then Newport also has a trolley. So we should have no problem without a car. It should be great. Thanks again!

There is a very nice museum in Providence.Take a tour of the homes(cottages!) in Newport:)<BR>Enjoy!
