Fun visiting the windy city. Learned alot and an eye opener....especially the awesome view from The Sears Tower.

Let me start off by saying that Lollapalooza already had two strikes against it before I even set foot in Grant Park.  This was my third festival in three years, and the first one that wasn't camping.  Strike 1.  In addition to that, everything...and I mean EVERYTHING at Lolla shuts …

Flying first class from San Francisco to Chicago to Seattle... in a day. Four hours San Fran to Chicago and another four and a half, Chicago to Seattle. Thank goodness for upgrades...

I made this trip with my good friend Tommy.

I wasnt even suppose to be in chicago. My cousin talked me into staying in town long enough for my (other) cousins baby shower. I know. Take the funny look off your face and give me a chance to explain.  :-) When she initally asked if i going

So I've been incredibily nervous about going to Chicago. I get in at midnight and have to take a cab to a hostel all by myself. So I asked a family at the baggage claim if they might know how much cab fare it would take to get me there, and instead, they took me to their home in a stretch limo!Now,…

DAY-ORD, UA 739, 737-300, 16C Got to sit with a talker in the middle seat (wouldn't shut up the entire flight - thankfully he was talking to the person in the window seat before I boarded and kept talking to him.  I just listened to the United audio system as opposed to burning batteries in m…

One day, my sister wanted chocolate.  And not just a candy bar, she wanted CHOCOLATE. So she googled Hershey's and found that there is a store in Chicago, which is within reasonable driving distance.  We decided to make a day of it and drove to Chi-town the following Sunday.  Now, th…

Thanks to everyone that has come to view this great opportunity I going to encounter. This website is solely devoted to my trip in Greece and everyone else that is going from the United States. I plan on writing and posting a great amount of pictures to keep everyone informed and that i am still alive. I must apologize for any spelling errors, it is not my strong point. I must thank my parents, family, and friends for all the support they have given me. Please feel free to post any comments.

I took a road trip back to Chicago for a few reasons: 1. To actually see some of the city 2. Try a restaurant I heard about. 3. The most important: Finally get my passport

I did it, I did it! 4:59:17. broke 5 hours (barely)... and although my original goal was 4:30:00 (which turned into 4:45:00 at mile 18... and "just finish this thing" at mile 22...) all I can say is "holla!" :)An amazing experience. Imagine 26.2 miles of people lining both sides of the street, at l…

2:44 until my arrival time in Chicago O’Hare.  Ironically, as a Wisconsinite child, I Never would have identified Chicago as “home”, quite the opposite, as they, after all, were the opposing football team in our division, and a Cheeseheads love for ´da Pack runs deeper than the choleste…

While making the calls a cute, petite blonde is sitting two seats to my left, working on a laptop. I don’t realize she is listening in on my conversation until she leans over to ask "Are you planning to drive to Madison?" I nod yes while Enterprise is explaining their $300 drop-off fee. The petit…
