Chicago Hostels - Reviews and Rates

The weather is absolutely perfect in Chicago -- not too cold or too hot -- and I'm out the door to Greece. Jonathan promises not to undertake any major rennovation projects in my absence!

Left the house at 8am today, on our way to Hobart, Indiana to drop off a couple boxes at Jonathan's house and have a fun little breakfast w/ Mary, Nicole & Christine's family. We said goodbye to Mom, Dan, E'Daniel, Quinton & Winston w/ heavy hearts. They had been the greatest little hosts to us, even giving up their amazing master suite ...

Back to Chicago...and prepare for the upcoming big trip. I finally made reservation for my flights from Europe to Africa. I evetually settled for Emirates Airline. As the No. 2 airline in the world (Only after Singapore Airline), it has always been the one I wanted to try. And because its extensive network in both Southern Africa and Eastern Afr...

The last few days I have been on the go nearly non-stop and I think it's taking it's toll on me because I'm feeling slightly dizzy and a bit heavy on my feet.

Boooooooooooooooo!!!!!! We just found out our plane is delayed to London :(. New departure time is 12:00 PM. We will get to London 6:00 PM CST. It will be Midnight in London when we arrive.
