Hotels in Chicago - Prices and Reviews

We have done our cultural duty, so now its lunch time and Michael has waxing lyrical about Chicago Hot Dogs. I'm not a hot dog fan, but his description makes my mouth water. The librarian had given us the name of a famous Chicago hot dog provider. We search and search but are unable to locate it. On the way we pass the famous Hilton Palm...

On arriving to Chicago and flying through the city by cab to Wendys, I already knew I liked it. It has a great feel about it and on passing Lake Michagan, I was amazed how huge it was. It was like a great big ocean which I definately wasnt expecting..
I arrived at Wendys lovely appartment to a big 'Welcome' wreath on the front door which mad...

Flight over to Chicago was great, I watched a few good movies-Ghost town, Bottle shock, Eagle eye and drank a couple vodka/cokes and a bottle of cabernet sauvignon. :) Josh and his friend picked me up from the airport and drove us back to his dorm on campus. It was freezing, minus 16! But i was excited because where ever i looked there was snow!...

Let me start by apologizing for the lack of content, I've not had the luxory of reliable internet for my computer so it's made several things rather difficult. Having said that I'm going to bring everyone up to speed before I catch up on the stories and blogs that I've been missing. I've recently decided to postpone the latter part of my trip b...

Altogether, my vacation in Berlin was unforgettable. I gained incredible knowledge of the German language. I saw amazing sights, went to a great show, had amazing food, and toured the most beautiful places. Berlin was like entering a new world. For anyone who ever has the chance to travel to anywhere they want in the world, I recommend Berlin! Y...

After spending a wonderful month in Denver we headed back to Chicago for xmas. We had a fabulous time with friends and family in both places. I should have updated this before we left but we are now in Thailand and don't have enough internet time to carry on here.

With a 5am start I took the Super Shuttle to Laguardia airport. My 1st class flight was to be split in two (at Chicago) breaking my journey and poor rump up a bit. The flight got in late and so at O'Hare airport I had to run down to the end of terminal to make my connection. Today's coffee count: 4 Today's croissant count: 2 Today's amount of sl...

Guthrie's Tavern is the kind of place that defines Chicago. In every way and shape, Guthrie's embodies how I see this city. Laid back. Intriguing. Warm. Friendly and fun. The bar has good character as well as a good beer selection. Guthrie's is nestled on the North side of the city, a few blocks west of Wrigley field. The bar is close enough to ...

We originally had a 4 hour layover, but the plane was 2 hours late to be ready in Paris, so we got to break up the time a little in Chicago. We declared on the custom form that we had brought back, which includes dried salami from France as a gift, but the US Agriculture department picked that out and tossed it. They scanned all of our bags beca...

A few last minute changes. Skipped the rental car plan and drove our car to Chicago. Thanks to Dogada and Shrabanidi, we saved a bunch of money, skipped the hassle of returning the cars and enjoyed a good nights sleep. Above all, we got to meet little Aryajit, that made the changes worth it. It has been warming up outside here in Chicago, and we...
