Information on 10 Chimneys |
It may be hundreds of miles away from the bright lights of Broadway,
but this Wisconsin estate was 'the' place to be for the biggest names
in theater! Laurence Olivier, Carol Channing and Katharine Hepburn
are just a few of the celebs to visit the summer home of the famous
acting duo of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Ten Chimneys, in Genesee
Depot, Wisconsin, has been restored to its former glory and is open
for the public to enjoy. You can tour their 18-room main house, their
quaint country cottage…even the log cabin studio where the Lunts rehearsed
endlessly! If you're interested in seeing it for yourself, Ten Chimneys
offers tours March-November and reservations are suggested.

Information on BMI Airways |
BMI is the UK's second largest full service airline. While it tries
to corner the market on transatlantic flight, they now fly direct
from Chicago to Manchester, England. But what makes this carrier so
unique? BMI is the only airline offering on board chefs on transatlantic
service! Business class here comes with its very own chef! Each chef
also has training as a flight attendant as well as at least four years
work experience in the culinary arts. Once airborne, the BMI chef
changes from the traditional flight attendant uniform to chef whites.
He makes his rounds to meet every passenger in business class and
see how they would like their meal prepared. And, he can make most
modifications necessary to please even the most finicky flyers!
