Kolek planning to go pro
WarriorFanHad one of my best weeks of my life in Belgrade. Was there 25 years ago and wish I could offer some insight, but thoroughly loved it.
Actually their basketball team does play Friday night and that's a strong possibility if we can figure out how to get tickets. Can't find anything on the web so far.
Bummer, Red Star was supposed to play Fenerbache on Friday but it's cancelled because Red Star has more players/coaches with COVID than without.
Where would you all say is the best drivable skiing from Chicago? Devils Head, Alpine Valley and Willmot is all I've done around here.
Cascade is about the same drive as Devil's Head and I prefer it.If you are willing to make it an overnight, I recommend Brule in the UP.
Thanks! Hows the snow situation up there? Icy or decent for skiing?
Depending on where you are talking about. Pennekamp? Snorkeling is fine. Islamorada or other places further down? Diving is better. Plus personal preference. Snorkeling easier, cheaper, You can obviously observe better diving. Turtles and nurse sharks tuck under ledges and are easier to see on air.Plus there are a couple wrecks you can only get to diving. I’m not a big wreck diver fan, but most are.Let me know where and I’ll see what insight I can provide. I’ve never dove near Key West so no knowledge about that area. If you are in Islamorada, go to Lorelei’s for sunset dinner and drinks. Have a bushwhacker.
Alpine valley and Wilmer are bunny hills. Chicago to devils head or cascade mountain about 3 hours? Not badIndian head, black jack, powder horn or ski brule about 5-6 hours? Best thing short of the real deal
I hear Grand Geneva is lovely this time of year
Villa Olivia too.
I am in Chicago, so the UP is 7-8 hours in a car. Since the drive is north-south, getting stuck in an storm makes that drive hellacious since the storm intensity is with you the mostly whole drive. I learned it's quicker and safer to jump on a plane to hit the western slopes...and of course much superior. Also, with Midwest skiing, there are usually no board parks and the slopes get clogged with novice boarders sitting on their arses sliding down the mountain.
I really prefer anywhere in Belgium. Antwerp is such a great cultural center with so much history. Ive been there so many times there for work it took going with my wife last month to re-appreciate it as a city. Bruges, Ghent, Leuven, and Liege is actually quite cool too.Brussels just feels kind of one note. I know the palace and such is there, and the EU is there so its quite multicultural, but it really is otherwise unremarkable IMO.
Moving this from the Fargo thread I hijacked.Okay we pulled the trigger and booked a place in Antwerp. I like places with water.My only regret moving from Brussels to Antwerp is it is further from Lueven. We had planned to abandon the kids one evening and visit “the world’s longest bar” collection of bars in Lueven. Still might do it (kids will be 18 & 17, so no child endangerment) but will cut down on drinking time.Now thanks to the suggestions here other cities to visit come into play. Found a near by restaurant called Meat Factory. But any other Belgium suggestions are welcome.
