Hotels in Chicago - Prices and Reviews

Oh this entry was added as an afterthought. Going through the picture albums, I almost forgot about the logan skate park in chicago, il. Here are a few pics from the night before we left. We were hanging out spending our last minutes with our friends, and passed by this park, and thought "Whoa!! a hidden gem!!" We parked our car, and scoped out ...

Tästä päivästä ei ole kovin ihmeitä sanottavana, pelkkää matkustamista, istumista ja hikoilua. Mutta tsekataan silti päivän tunnelmia. Hotellin puolikohtuullisen aamiaisen jälkeen käytiin tekemässä parin tunnin kävelylenkki ja tsekkaamassa hotellin läheisyydessä sijaitseva Sacre coueur kirkko. Melkoinen kapuaminen oli kirkolle, mutta todella hie...

Well, this is the first entry in our Travel Blog. We're leaving in 25 days for our Scandinavian Cruise. We're sailing on the Sea Princess, one of Princess Cruise Line's smaller ships as it has a capacity of only 1900 passengers. Since it mainly sails out of London, it'll probably be about 85% UK passengers, which is fine with us as they tend to ...

So. Here is where I was born. It was an emergency and so I popped out at Cook County Hospital. Believe me you wouldn't wish that place on Dick Cheney. Maybe Ann Coulter? Can you say "the worst hospital on earth?" Anyway. I was born here in Chicago- decades ago. You can look up the exact location on Google Earth. I was only in Chicago for a few d...

So this is my last day in the US for a year! It's really strange actually. I really love Chicago! I wish I could see my family before I leave. I'm going to spend some of the day in the city, I really have to do laundry and pack but.... it hasn't really started yet! :-o I know it will all get done though. I really don't know what to expect this n...

Since Chicago has some of the best architecture in the country, designed by some of the best architects in the history of the country, we thought it was best to tour the house/studio of one of the best. Frank Lloyd Wright is a favorite of Dad and I (my favorite architect actually.) We have been to several homes he has designed in many places acr...

Our first layover was in Chicago, where Shannon was shocked that Air Japan put everything in my name, even her luggage, and the news was a-buzzing about a scorpion attacking a passenger on a United Airlines flight.

After the late night again we started the day with a lazy breakfast after doing some work on the computer with the oldest grandchild at 6.30am the next morning before he left for school,(they had a stayover with us). He was setting up a site in a game he plays so that we could talk to me in Australia through this game. We left around 1.30 pm to ...

Boo being on a plane for 11 and a half hours...yuck...I've really got to get over my dislike of asking people to move so I can go to the washroom, etc....either that or make them book me in the bloody aisle seat for once... Anyways, after arriving in Chicago at 3 pm, I had an hour to go through immigration, pick up my luggage, clear customs, dro...

Get ready, get set, GO! I'm not very excited about traveling with this monstrous snowboard in tow, but it will all be worth it on my first powder day. Care to join me in Argentina?
