East Coast Trip

A trip from September 10, 2006 to September 16, 2006, travelling to Schaumburg, Cleveland, Niagara Falls …
My parents and my grandmom are gonna visit me in Chicago … More  
My parents and my grandmom are gonna visit me in Chicago during the second week of Sept. I have been thinking for a while to go on a road trip in States and this I thought might be a right opportunity. Yeah, its gonna be a lil taxing for my grandmom...

I have thought about visiting the following places during this week long road trip

Cleveland
Niagara Falls
Boston
New York
Washington DC
Pittsburg

Am planning on leaving Chicago on the Sept 10th and be back home on the 16th.

I bought a Magellan Roadmate 360 for this trip hoping that I wouldnt get lost. I am sure this gadget is gonna be a good addition for my 325i.

09/06
Havent planned on the trip details yet. Decided to take Boston of the list. I would rather spend two days in New york than a day each in Boston and NY. Got my reservations done and am glad I used my hotel points for this.
