I'm new to Milwaukee and trying to find somewhere to jump off something high into water, like a cliff or something similar. Are there any rock quarries or cliffs around? Not really interested in diving boards.

We have traveled to Egg Harbor several times during the past few years, and always encountered weather we did not expect. Once we encountered the worst fog we have ever seen. Egg Harbor in Door County is one of the prettiest places in the United States, even in bad weather!

Hi,
We are still planning our frequently delayed cross-country drive. I understand that the trip between Madison WI and Souix Falls SD is looong and boooring. We are not on a timetable and would like some info about interesting(if any)minor detours along this leg of our trip. We are NOT campers, hikers, fishermen, or the usual outdoors type.
Thanks, Irv

Hi, I have planned 34 day - itinerary traveling in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. However I am not sure about amount of days in any particular place. For example is it enough 2 days in one place or maybe 2 days is too long? Did I allow enough time to travel between places? Could you please take a quick look and have some suggestions for improvement. Also I am not sure how to get from one place to another; we are thinking train, bus, car combination. If you have any suggestions could you copy and paste my itinerary into your reply box and make changes there? Thanks a lot.

Hi Guys,

I'm going to be travelling around Lake Michigan this summer and i was wondering if there was any real must-sees towns or places you thought i should check out when in Wisconsin?

I'm a 26yr old English guy who'll have his own car, i'm open to all suggestions really as i should have a week to spend in the state. I've heard Door County is meant to be really nice but any other tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am thinking about one of these three cities to move to while my fiancee is in Basic Training and AIT in Great Lakes I know every city has it's bad parts, but which one would be the safest for me

Does anyone know if there are any good night life guides or a listing with band and events in Green Bay?

I'll be passing through in a few weeks and was planning on staying a few days to visit friends

Hi
I'm trying to plan a winter (December) long weekend getaway from Chicago. We'd like to go somewhere driving distance (3 hours or so) that is a lodge vibe, and isnt a family style water park. Can anyone reccomend anywhere in the Lake Geneva area or in any part of central or southern Wisco? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, VT members, I need your help. We are planning to go to Scandinavia next late spring, but I do not know which hotels I have to book. We are looking for the centrally located hotels with a price range ~ $180-230 per night/ per room. We are looking for a certain comfort, but I do not want to overpay. Would you please suggest the names of the hotels and provide your opinion about them. Thank you very much in advance.

Good day Vters,

Can I have a piece of advise, if it is alright to join a tour on scandinavia for 12 days,
which will cost me 1,700 US$ for the duration of the tours, or will I be able to do it on our own via eurail or the like. do you think it will be possible? if so,then how about accommodations? will it be hard to get a hotel near the train station for two.and will it be safe. thanks a lot for the help.Am running out of time since we plan to leave 1st or 2nd week of October..

thanks a lot.

Hello!

We will travel to Norway, Sweden, and Copenhagen at the end of September.

It makes financial sense for us to purchase railpasses. We are debating purchasing a Scansaver pass, or else a Select pass (first class).

Are many/most of the trains in Scandinavia second class only? Is second class comfortable for longer train rides (e.g. greater than 4 hours).

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

The stake[sic] was delicious?

How was the steak?

what does Wa Du Shuda mean?

We will be renting a vacation home on Goose Lake this year site inseen, but appears to be nice and I have spoken with owner who assures me it is what we need. We will have 8 people ages 10 thru 60. Assume 1 day kids will all go into the Dells , but looking for some feedback on the following;

We plan on some tubing What is the general feeling about people doing this? Do locals have a problem? Restricted hours for this? How is the lake?

What is available in local area for supplies such as groceries, restaurants, etc?

Entertainment?

If someone can help, much appreciated

Low and high, high and low, I have looked everywhere. Has anyone done the Milwaukee, WI to Toronto, ONT trip using the ferry system across Lakes Michigan and Huron (God, I hope that's the right lake). I'm trying to find a way to avoid a nasty trip just on the US highway system going to Connecticut. Toronto to Connecticut is a scant 9 hour drive, whereas, Rochester, MN to CT is around 20 hrs. We will be taking a car (obviously) so portage with that item is mandatory.

We'll be heading out May 20. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
A gagillion thanks to anyone that can help.
Jeff-

I recently had the pleasure of spending a few days in Portage, however are there any alternative travel than Amtrak? There was only one train per day both arriving and departing! Does a bus/coach line run through? this was the only problem I had whilst there, the Motel was wounderful, people very friendly, I am definitely going back :)

I will be visiting Milwaukee in July. Are there any Polish restaurants, delis, grocery stores or liquor stores that carry Polish beers or booze? Thanks!

Will be in Milwaukee in July and looking for any tips on good restaurants, from casual to upscale. any assistance appreciated. Looking forward to visiting.

Hi folks,
I am probably going to spend nine months next year in Eau Claire, and was looking for some basic information.
1- What are the general daily life expanses in the city (Sandwich, meal in a mid-range restaurant, Coke, Pizza, bus ride, etc....)
2- As Wisconsin is near the Canadian border, is it feasible to visit Montreal. Is there bus links, how much does cost the trip???
3- Any additional information about the city, and any other comments are just welcome.
Thanks,

Is it possible to travel from O'Hare to Oshkosh (for the airshow) by bus or train? Which is better? How long does it take?

Interested in a 7 day scandinavian cruise which includes St. Petersburg. Not a lover of cruising, but seems to be the best way to get around this area. Any opinions? Looking to travel next August and need a locale that is not a hot climate (can't take Rome or Paris anymore during a heat wave). Want to be with a "middle-age" crowd....not too wild but not on a weeklong nap! Would love to hear about experiences on Regent Seven Seas or similar line or alternatives.

Thanks.

We plan a week in Wisconsin the end of June, into and out of MKE. Arriving on Saturday, we'll first head downtown to the Polish Festival, etc., and stay in Milwaukee for two nights probably. Our last night or two we'll spend in Madison and head to the airport again on Saturday.

In between though we're a bit unsure. Is Door County too touristy and overrun that time of year? I hear 42 can get quite taxed.

What about instead heading across to the Mississippi and La Crosse, taking in Vernon County on the way to Madison.

Is it crazy to consider doing both Door Co and La Crosse with so little time? Any better itineraries?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Currenlty planning to go to Packers vs Raiders on Dec 9th. Hoping for snow to get the full experience.

Where should we stay? Is it feasible to stay in chicago and drive to the game? or take some kind of public transit?

If not feasible, what locaiton is good to stay both for the game and for the night life?

Thanks.

Hi,

My husband and I are coming up to Lake Geneva the weekend of November 2. Any interesting things to do during the day on Saturday? I'm hoping the weather will not be too cold.

Me and my mom are driving from Michigan to Minnesota to visit my brother. We will drive part way the first day and stay in Baraboo. The second day we will drive from there visit La Crosse and then drive the rest of the way up along the great river road. My questioning is are there any places along The great River Road (between La Crosse and St Paul) that anyone really suggest or can tell me more about? I have found a few places that the Great River Road website suggest but I would love to hear other places or what you really recommend! Any responses will be appreciated! =o)

I am coming for a Packers/Vikings game from Saskatchewan, Canada and want to know about tailgate parties. I can buy tickets to a tailgate party online at the Brett Farve Steakhouse? Is this suggested? Are there other tailgate parties? Do they cost money? Any advice?
Also, what is the average temperatuure in November?

Thanks, Keri

Hello. We are planning a boating trip to check out Mendota, Monona, and Waubesa for the weekend on the boat. Wondering what anyone would recommend for lakeside bar, restaurants and other places a boat can tie up to. Thanks much!
