You may decide that there is soo much fun in the greater Milwaukee/Waukesha area that you want to stay here and call it home...as we have for a lifetime...whether you want a loft overlooking the lakefront or country estate with a few acres to roam....or suburban sub-division life...we have it all....we welcome you !
Now Pierogis are one of my absolute favorites. We have Pierogi shops here. Might have to come up! It sure sounds like alot of fun times in your area!
You are welcome to stay at Hotel Hanson and get served a heaping helping of midwestern hospitality...there is a place at the table, a seat at the bar...a warm shower....comfy bed.
I would head on up to your neck of the woods, but I understand that you're coming out this way shortly. By then I might have a handy dandy Canon Rebel T2i which takes both pictures and movies! LOL
You will be stopped at the border....all photography equipment is going to be confiscated and immediately demolished...consider it carefully.
