Hello Chicago!

An uneventful flight from Colorado Springs brought us to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.

Once we deplaned, we made our way to the train station to take the Blue Line into the city … with one change at the Jackson Station to switch to the Red Line.

We’re staying at the Homewood Suites, a two minute walk from the Red Line Grand Station … and a short 10-minute walk (if that) to the Italian Consulate on North Michigan Avenue.

Once we were settled in our room, we headed out for dinner at Joe’s … just down the street from the hotel. Delicious seafood; smooth, crisp wine; a key lime pie well-deserving of its reputation; excellent service.

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate tomorrow for us to explore the city … maybe go to a museum.Read more
