Following on from the last post, Cath and I decided we'd sit down at the weekend and spend a couple of hours planning what we shall do on our sightseeing day in Chicago. There were a couple of other things thrown into the ring, such as the baseball stadium and an architectural boat trip, so it seemed sensible to check these out. Least that was the plan, but we fell at the first hurdle!
Thanks to Mr Branson, our flight out has been moved forward a couple of hours, meaning, where we had imagined we would use public transport to Heathrow, we will now have to arrive so early, that we need to leave before the trains start running. Consequently, rather than seeing what delights the Windy City has in store for us, we spent our time reviewing the different options for getting us to Heathrow. In the end, the most sensible option was to drive and park the car in long stay parking. Looking at the costs involved and logistics, it was a no brainer and I have duly booked our space.
In the meantime, I've had a quick look at some of the attractions in Chicago and found a gangster bus tour, which may be quite interesting. Cath and I will have another shot (no pun intended) at planning this coming weekend and hopefully we'll be able to get some sort of plan together. Once that's sorted, we can turn our attentions to the other end of the Route, LA.
