Right now our plan is to fly into Midway (we have tickets), spend a day at Northwestern, then a half-day at Lake Forest, drive to Madison, spend a day there, drive to Beloit, spend another day, and then fly out of Chicago. We usually go faster than the mapquest times – I certainly hope it doesn’t take four hours to drive the 134 miles from Lake Forest to Madison!

Bandit: She picked the schools, not me. Perhaps I should reword and say, what advice do you have for her when planning this trip? And none of us drink coffee – we usually like to go to one of the student cafeterias for a meal, to check out students.

She’d like to sit in on classes, stay overnight if possible, meet with professors and check out the student newspaper, possibly look at the dance facilities.

And I know it’s going to be cold, snowy and drab – but we are coming from Vermont after all! (I tried to push a trip to California, where it’s warm, but failed.)
