Is Chicago, is not Chicago*

Well, we’re off. Tomorrow morning at 7.30am a giant taxi will arrive to take two adults, two children, two carseats, four suitcases and three carry-on bags to Heathrow, where we will begin the 12-hour journey (8 hour flight; 4 at airports) to Chicago. I’ve been looking forward to this trip immensely since we booked it back in January and while in a way it seems like it’s been forever, it’s suddenly crept up on me quickly, as time does.
Posting will be light, obviously. So adios, mi amigos. I’ll catch up with you all when I’m back in three weeks.

Have a fabulous time. And take the glass of wine they offer you when you board the flight. I know it’s first think in the morning, but it helps, really…
I lived in Chicago for 10 years and go back twice a year.
Where will you be staying? Is this your first visit?
It’s a lovely city in the summer, but bloody awful in the winter.
Hope you have a great trip.
I look forward to reading all about it.
Have a great trip.

Have a lovely time!
