I consider myself an active member of TB. Not just posting pics or writing, but also meeting TB in real life. But something was missing… what? Attending to a Meet Up and finally I did it!!! I was the only one from outside the States, mmm. Someone had to bring the latin flavor, ;) After having so much fun and met incredible people, I’m afraid I became a Meet Up addict, oooops :P Thanks James & Mark! And I'll keep on organizing the Lima Meet Up!

Just a quick stop in Chicago

arriving to Chicago

There was no direct flight from Miami to KC, so I had to take a connection in Chicago. I was thinking about sleeping in the plane, since I didn’t sleep at all the night before and didn’t want to arrive tired to KC. Usually I travel alone, that’s why I’m always wondering who’s gonna sit next to me. Hoping he or she might be a nice person, who I can talk to. But this time I was so tired, that I didn’t care about it.

I was almost falling asleep, when somebody started talking to me. Oh! It was a nice guy, also traveling by his own. I couldn’t get upset, since I was thinking I usually do the same, hehe. So, Giovanni and I started talking and didn’t stop.

yeah! leaving Chicago!!!!
I felt my eyelids so heavy and everytime I winked it took so long. But I love to talk, so I kept on talking haha. Everyone who knows me, can assure I talk a lot!!! My layover was a 2 hours one, but his was just 45min, so he had to run. I was feeling sorry about the people who have to run in the airports from gate to gate, without imaging I would be doing exactly the same some days later. 

We arrived to Chicago, I said good bye to him, looked for my gate and took a sit waiting for my final flight to KC. When I was planning the trip at the beginning I was trying to find a long layover in Chicago instead of Miami, since I have never been in this wonderful city. Well, I guess I just have to wait and be patient in order to go there. Eventually I will do it. And I met a friend in Lima who lives there, so it will be perfect ;)

When I was waiting for my flight to leave. I noticed I had roaming and got a message from Peru ??? Who was texting me ??? It was him! Luc (lucverkruijsse) the TB I was supposed to meet in Lima. He was in his way to Lima's aiport. We agreed to keep in touch and hopefully meet soon. I guess if there's a vouch for SMS or telephone meetings, haha. Ok, time to keep on moving. Finally, I was coming closer to KC…

Airport in Chicago IL - Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
The airport is situated 29km (18 miles) northwest of Chicago. It's one of the busiest airports in the USA. So it's always crowded.

I have been here just 1 for a layover and hope to go back when I visit Chicago city.

Here are a couple of tips about this airport:
-O'Hare is currently in a process of a long term modernisation scheme to improve its operations.
-They have a free train system connecting all terminals.
-There is a variety of restaurants, bars, fast-food and cafés, where you can find the famous Chicago pizza.

hope you find this info useful and if you have further info, pls do not hesitate in posting it.
