What's the subject about?

Ditto - especially, since I got the hotel vouchers and flight tickets already
Thanks to Mac for the link to this.... will try and squeeze the bank account, it sounds a great idea. Last (and only) time I was in Chicago, travelling with husband and 2 children under 4, changing trains between one from Boston and the City of New Orleans, intending to take in the Art Museum in our 3 hour break, a very kind lady on a street corner came and asked us if we had somewhere to go, if we were OK. I realised that our 5 suitcases of differing antiquity, baby on back with no shoes and socks (seemed a problem for the lady) and general downmarket air belied the fact that we were going around the world for 5 months on a Hong Kong salary. I felt bad, fraudulent in some way!
haha, clary, it does sound like you need to experience chicago from a slightly different perspective. this time you'll even have time to sit down and look around.
SuperG, i'd invite you to share my room, but something tells me you have other ideas ;-)
You mean you went without matching luggage?
You should have tipped the chauffeur to keep them out of sight in the boot/ trunk.
Clary, you only needed 5 suitcases for the 4 of you? those must have been extra large suitcases. ;-)

I like this idea. A2k Trolley making the rounds on the Loop. Would it be catered?
<slowly reading through>
Heck, I'm 16 pages late, but yahoo! Add me to the list if I haven't booked another trip on those dates.

They were, but we always have travelled light. No extras like babyshoes, for example! And we probably had loads of plastic bags with babyquipment and sandwiches and stuff! What a gypsy family!
The trolley thing does sound great... easy way to see stuff together, nice and mobile both in space and in place - we wouldn't all be stuck in place around a long table...
Who will be supplying the drugs?
what kind do you have in mind, augustus?
I thought a little black hashish would be quite appropriate for the boat ride.
Is that the Mystic Cruise?
The lake will be mighty cold in early May. Bring a warm jacket for a boat ride, but it's definately worth doing - unless you're so stoned you don't notice the temperature, that is, in which case you won't notice your on a boat either so why bother?
