I hope you tipped your lovely tour guide, because you got an incredible thread out of it!

While it sometimes feels like I can cover more ground in less time when I'm out "touring" myself, there's nothing like the adrenaline rush you can get when you are out with someone who you're "on the same page" with. It's like you can almost feed of their energy.

I had a former co-worker, who used to talk a lot about growing up in and traveling back and forth to Rockford (to visit family during holidays)....This thread rings a lot of those stories to life to me in a new way.
