Well, it's here! Tomorrow I leave for Chicago! Have tickets for the Tut Exhibit/Field Museum, Art Institute and an Architectural Boat Tour. Also have somewhat of an understanding of the public transportation system.

Thanks to all of you who helped me directly and indirectly by posting really great, informative insight.

Hope you have a wonderful time, chasecow! Be sure to give us a trip report when you get back!

Hope you have a great time! Looking forward to the trip report already~

have fun- your weather looks good!

And you've hit a good weather spell too! I don't think that miserable heat is coming back.

Please tell us details and I wish you luck on getting off the beaten track.

Thanks so much. I'll definitely do a trip report when I get back next week. The weather DOES sound like it's going to be great.

See ya!

Bon Voyage! I have another month to agonize over what to wear The more I search, the more time I need in the city! Have fun!
