Chicago travel

    So, I swear, I have never traveled as much as this year. Anyway, we are off to Des Plains Il. for the weekend for a weeding in Chicago. One of our favorite cities–in the summer! Anyway, If any locals would like to meet up or allow us to see your spectacular pups we would love to come! We are driving from Columbus on Friday after my son gets out of school. So we will be leaving at 3ish. It will take us about 6 hours to get there and we MUST stop at IHOP on the way since we do not have one here. The wedding is on Saturday and in the morning we may try and go to the Childrens museum. I heard it is really nice.
    My mom is babysitting the furkids which I am a little nervous about but they will be fine.

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    I just saw this post and wanted to apologize. I live here and had I seen this, I could have given you some additional advice as I live here and have for 9 years. Next time you come this way, hit me up and I'll give you the 411! As for the rest of you, all confirmed. The metro here is quite good compared to other cities. The cab system is on the zone system. The more zones you cross, the more it costs, but if your driver takes you in a big circle to get from point A to point B, he is only allowed to charge you for the shortest route zones. This only applies to DC cabs, though. If you are in a VA or MD cab, they use a meter. If you take a DC cab out of DC into VA, you'll be negotiating the fare since the zones don't extend past parts of Arlington. And, lastly, DC has just about every cuisine in existence but you might have to dig a little deeper to find the same in Va, but most are there too - just more widespread. For future reference, digitalcity.com is a great resource. Just check the 'cities' best' list.
