If we keep at it eventually we will be able to pull all these threads and make a travel guide for Kansas. <hr /><a name="a5979_19"></a><p><b>From: Vicky (ANDERI)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5979.19">#19</a>]<br /> 9 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5979.16">#16</a>] 9 Feb 2007</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">Vicky what do you have up there besides snow?</div> Ummm.... polar bears? Just kidding. Those are a little further north than I am. :O) <br /> <br /> Gosh, if you're looking for sight-seeing or historical attractions, we have more than I could ever possibly list. Ontario seems to be where all the explorers landed in their search for the trade routes to China, but got confused by all the big lakes and wound up going south instead. ;-) <br /> <br /> But I'm not as attached to Ontario as you seem to be to your State. I'm a native born 'n' raised Quebecer. Spent the first 30 years of my life there, so it'll always be "home" to me. If you're looking for a less expensive European vacation, you could always go to Montreal or Quebec City. :-) Excellent food, great skiing, lots of history. <hr /><a name="a5979_20"></a><p><b>From: LG (WAIIB)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5979.20">#20</a>]<br /> 9 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5979.18">#18</a>] 9 Feb 2007</p> Besides the space museum, we will also soon have a salt mine museum 600-700 ft. down. <a href="http://www.undergroundmuseum.org">www.undergroundmuseum.org</a>/ ICTJOHN has some neat places over there.

I will be down there the third week in July. My oldest son will be doing level 4 of the Future Astronaut Training Program at the Cosmosphere. This year they are going straight to Florida to the Kennedy Space Center. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5979.1">1-15</a>  16-21</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
