Chicago - Oct 15, 2012

Smooth Flight and great car service using the Go Airport Express Shuttle service from the Chicago Airport, note book in advance and save some money but do remember to give a tip, these guys work hard, and perform a great service. Our hotel was the Almalfi Hotel in downtown Chicago, beautiful and quiet great reception and a spectacular buffet breakfast. Touring today consisted of a Art Galley peek in the Wrigley building (yes the gum family), then a 90 minute Chicago River cruise, highly recommended. A a stroll down the "Magnificent Mile" for some window shopping and lunch. A quick bus ride to the Millenium Park for another walk about, back to the hotel and now sitting at the airport waiting for our flight. Okay since we are doing this right, we are sitting in the First Class lounge with one us of sipping on a champagne that begins with Veuve Cl... something, hey if I can't pronounce it it must be good, the food is excellent and if I keep sitting here and sipping I am going to miss the flight. We move on, here are some photos of the days experience, hope you enjoy. In front of our Hotel
