Carl-E:
Sorry for the double post, but I just remembered...

I was in Philly last two days (tests at Temple U hospital), and we'll be going back in late May for a 4 day bout of testing.  Most of those days, we'll just be going in in the morning for a picture and then will have the day to sightsee. 

I've not been sightseeing in Philly since 1976, when I was in Jr, High (the bicentenial tour - independence hall, liberty bell, some other touristy things).  Any recommendations/warnings?  Is anyone here even familiar with Philly?  Tourists include myself, my wife (similar age) and my 18 year old younger daughter (the one getting the tests).

The only good thing Philly has every contributed to society was the cheesesteak, so I guess eat one.

I always thought the pizza served there was top notch. That location invented the deep dish (allegedly). Lou Malnati's is still my favorite though.

There's a Japanese mall in Chicago? I wanna go!

I love traveling. I just moved to New Orleans 7 months ago. Before that I lived in Oakland, California and Berkeley...before that I lived in various cities in Florida and I was born in Pennsylvania.

I don't know where to move next! I miss the produce in California terribly but I wouldn't want to move back to the same place. I thought about LA as a compromise.
I also thought about Costa Rica. I hear ppl there drink young coconuts and there are butterflies the size of your head! Also it's only $900 to have a baby in Costa Rica and the child gets dual citizenship until age 21 when he/she has to pick a country. Not that I'm planning on having kids but who knows what could happen?

Where have you all lived? What did you/do you like about it? Where should I go next?

Barmymoo:
$900 to have a baby? Do you mean to pay to give birth in a hospital, or do you have to pay to conceive?
