Well, I buy most of my iPad cases from Amazon - usually cheap and good quality - below is my quick search of Amazon - plenty of choices - don't live in Chicago (been there a dozen times), but I'm sure there is a 'computer store' there with what you need - good luck Dave :)

Yes, in earlier posts in this thread I described our visit to the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in North Charleston, SC where the Hunley is still currently housed (thought it would be moved by now?) - for those interested please search the thread - I bought a great book on the sub there - the...

Yep - several times but has been years since my last visit - I've also been down a sub - the one in Mobile, AL (WW II USA); visited Patriot's Point in Charleston several times, main attraction USS Yorktown but no subs - doing a ChatGPT, there are about 10 submarines in the USA that can be...

U-Boats in the Outer Banks Early WW II - check link for more information - but an exhibit at the Graveyard of the Atlantic - the museum had a small gift shop but a good book selection - the short one on U-Boats was rather expensive so I checked Amazon for a Kindle edition which was only $5 with...

The Marc Basnight Bridge opened in 2019 and replaced the older Bonner Bridge, both crossing the Oregon Inlet connecting Bodie and Pea Islands - the new bridge in 2.8 miles long and cost $254,000 to construct (more HERE if interested) - the bridge was still being built on our last visit, so this...

Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is located at the lower end of Hatteras Island near the ferry boat terminal to Ocracoke Island - one of three maritime museums in the state (other two located in Beaufort and in Southport, topics of previous posts in the thread). The Wiki article provides some...

Second day on a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina - have a beautiful 4th level oceanfront condo and a large flock of seagulls just landed on the beach - pic below of the event. Dave .

OUTER BANKS - MARCH 2026 - NEW TRIP TO COMPLETE OUR BUCKET LIST - 👍 Over a period of about 50 years, this is our 4th trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina - this has been the topic of many previous posts in this thread that dates back over twelve years. As to the meaning of 'bucket list'...

Just 5 devices to update - went fast and done! Thanks - Dave :)
