Yea Thea I know where Branson Missouri is! whats the Major Airport to Branson????

Branson airport, Springfield Airport, or St. Louis Airport, which would be a few hours drive.

Branson's gorgeous, and tons of shows and attractions. Silver Dollar City is a huge amusement park, there's camping for RVers, and interesting things to do around every corner. One of my favourite things when I was there was a dueling piano bar at Branson Landing. I had the most fun there, and if you do decide to party there with me, you'll have the time of your life!

While Branson is within driving range (about 8 hours), there are decent hotels and attractions around here, too. Closest MAJOR airport to me is Chicago, but there is a few regional airports in the area with scheduled service. Moline International (MLI) and Cedar Rapids (CID) are the ones closest to me. Moline's flight path is just over my apartment if the wind is blowing from the east. Cedar Rapids is an 1.5 hours away. Chicago is 3 hours from me.

So you said Chicago? that is a Major Airport alright. you use Midway or O' Hare????

I'm up for wherever too. And I'm in the Southeast actually. I'm in Atlanta, GA. Cali is always a fun time. Maybe a big ole house rented on the coastline of the Atlantic or Florida.

I will be in the MidWest as well, Appleton, Wisconsin. But since this is really not the place to be i am up for everything :) cali sounds great to me ;) well i am in either way!!!

Oh snap! Southbeach would probably do too. It can get crazy. But we could get a place we could all split for a weekend in that area. I've done it before.

And don't worry Tom...it's ALL good ;)
