The thing that bugged us on this stretch of road was that we needed to stop at many toll roads just to get us through I-90 and I-94. We thought they should name a road after us for all the tolls we paid. We stopped at Tank Noodle in Chinatown after getting this recommendation from Bryan ...

Tough trip to plan for ....20F in Beijing and 95F in Jakarta. A lot of business meetings and not sure laundry limits. I'll be outside if trekking to the Great Wall. I'm going to be all over the place. Packed a suitcase in a suitcase in case I see something to buy for the girls/family too good to pass up.

The light came on in the room pretty early. Dad woke me up and gave me a short amount of time to get ready for us to get out of the room and off to the airport. We needed to get to the other airport in NYC (called La Guardia) to see if we could get out on a flight this morning.

Chicago has been a whirlwind, but great. The day after I arrived we went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to watch the cubs and the Milwaukee brewers (Baseball). A very fun experience, particularly, the 'frat-party style ****-up amongst the busses in the car park. That was bizzare, and is apparently called "tailgaiting". mmmm... The days after that, I did the Art institute (incredible renoir, monet, picasso etc), an architectural tour of ...
