If there are any EC folks who are willing to put up an Aussie traveller for a couple of days and maybe show her a few of the local sights etc, could you please PM me so I can forward your details to my friend and his sister to follow up. She was kinda thinking of staying at backpacker motels, YMCA/YWCA, etc.. but I'm kinda hoping that there are some folks here that can offer a hand too. She has mentioned she would be willing to help pay for accomodation, etc while staying over.

Currently her itenary(sp??) is open after her camp work (she'll be based about 30 miles north of St Louis, MI... if anyone is around there that might be able to play guide etc on spare days??) although she might be spending some time in San Antonio. However I've been told she also would like to see San Diego and San Francisco on the west coast (she's been to LA before though, so she may only just pass through there quickly this time around), as well as various other places.

Cities also mentioned that she would like to see (apart from those above) are: New Orleans, New York, and Houston. I'm trying to find out what other places she really wants to see too, and will update those here as the info comes to me.

Synny, I'm not sure where in New Jersey you are, but he did mention his sister wanted to try to go to New York to see "Ground Zero" and, if anything is done, the rememberances etc on 9/11 for the 'anniversary'. Could you (or anyone else in the NY area) please contact me via PM cos I know she'd really appreciate having a guide etc there.

Thanks folks. It is much appreciated.

Sure, we may not have much, but there ARE at least a few interesting things here. hehe

To be honest, I never found NYC very impressive. But that's me. I rarely find anything impressive for long. So I might not be the best tour guide anyhow. Though I'd reccommend bringing gas masks. From what I understand, the site still has a rancid stench to it. I haven't been back there since Sept 20th personally.

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE MESSAGE!

Everybody hates Snoota.

Although, now that I think of it, we haven't gone to Gameworks in a while. You couldn't use your "But I'm not 21 excuse there."

I still feel horribly stupid about that. Did you HAVE to bring it up?

Heh, if she DID come up here, though, and I weren't 15, I'd try to show her around some.

Woooo.
