I did go with my girlfriend just south of Chicago to the gambling boats once.
Now Indy is a different story. I know how to get to a few places and there is lots to do there...I only know how to get to the airport, zoo and Children's museum, oh and the state house.
We ought to have a meet-up and everyone fly into the Indianapolis airport. We would have a blast!!!

Can't imagine you not going to Chicago more. Here in Texas, it's nothing to drive 150 miles or more to see something, a sporting event or to shop. We've actually driven 100 miles, each way, just to go out to eat at a certain restaurant. This is slowing down a little with the higher gas prices, but we, Texans, still love to travel. We are somewhat familiar with all the major cities within a 200 mile radius of our home.
So glad you had a wonderful time!!! A meetup in Indianapolis sounds like a great idea. Maybe sometime in the late winter or spring, after the holidays at least.
Diana, if you ever get to San Antonio again, let all of us know. Maybe we could have a mini-meetup there. There are several of us down here. Gayle isn't far from SA or perhaps we could meet in Austin. That's even closer for her, and Sandy isn't too far away. Her drive would be a little more than mine, but not much, once her foot heals. Maybe others could fly in and join us.
