Chicago Motels - Reviews and Rates

10/10/2009 - Our first full day in Chicago and, as usual, whenever we reach a new city the first thing we have to do is the laundry. We scoured the neighbourhood (in the freezing cold!), but couldn't find a public laundromat for love nor money (apparently the condominiums have them available for residents only). We eventually found a dry-cleaner...

We made it to Chicago..... it was Diane's first experience on an Embraer Regional Jet and she was less than impressed with the less than spacious cabin! :-) For those who have never been on one, Diane slammed her head on roof of the cabin when standing up to disembark so that should give you a good idea. She's outside smoking now, hopefully she ...

Aloha meine Lieben, unglaubliche 4 Monte sind seit meinem letzten Eintrag vergangen und ich habe mein Versprechen öfter zu schreiben nicht halten können! Die Zeit rennt mir davon, jetzt bin ich schon über 10 Monate hier und wenn ich mal nicht busy bin, dann bin ich zu faul zum schreiben! Ich hab ja noch nicht mal die neuesten Fotos raufgeladen, ...

  Greetings from Chicago...the city that has  produced some of the best and worst of the current political scene!  The last time I updated this blog was on election night, and we all know how that turned out.  Being in Chicago has been simply exhilarating, both on Nov. 4 and in the weeks after.  Chicago is definitely feeling a little full of it...

Alas! There is internet here, but no more iPhone :( I woke up at 6:30 this morning to repack my bag so things were more organized than they were yesterday. I also had to reorganize to fit in the latex gloves and toiletry bag I bought yesterday. By 8:30 I was all done! Today was also filled with more early morning running around Sac for last minu...

I've been putting off this last installment for a long time now. The fact is, after a month of being in the states, I still don't feel like I can truly get my arms around the journey that Kelly and I just under took. But here goes nothing... We departed Bangkok for San Francisco on February 22nd. As it turns out, because of the date line crossin...

Katie: We stayed in a nice hostel in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago which is a great neighbourhood (thanks for the recommendation Mark!). There are lots of bars and shops around, and the park is lakeside to Lake Michagan, as is most of Chicago. The great lakes are incredible, they are massive, it is like looking out to sea you can't see land t...

Yes, folks, I'm on the road again. This time with a different mission, a different outlook, and exactly the same locations. Just in a mixed-up order. To catch you all up to date, my gram, one of very few people whose welfare could get me to skip out of Europe early, is finally on the mend. Due to doctor mistreatment she was literally on the verg...

Chicago oli mu koduks pea 2 aastat. Alustasin oma teekonda sellisest pisikesest suburbanist nagu Winnetka, au-pairina nagu paljudel neidudel kombeks. 4 kuu jooksul laspsi hoides ja võõra perega elades, oli mul tekkinud oma sõpruskond, kellest kõik elasid omal käel ja väga lahedat elu. Tahtsin ka! Nii teatasingi perele, et ma ei taha enam seal ol...
