A good flight with Virgin Atlantic on Saturday other than the muslim couple sitting directly behind us, he had a stinking cold , coughing and sneezing all the way and couldn't see his missus , had one of those furkin things on.
I listened for ticking all the way , glad when we went off and he hadn't :blink:
Arrived at Chicago Marriott about 3pm, great hotel on Michigan Ave (the magnificent mile) Our room on the 32nd floor overlooks Lake Michigan as well as some tower blocks, helluva sight night and day.
Nothing is cheap, in fact its damned expensive , a pint of beer £5, little in the way of cheap food unless you want junk.
The NATO talks took place here over the week end with many of the PMs etc including Barack Obama staying close by. As a result the traffic and police control frequently fell into chaos when limos arrived in grand procession, absolutely hilarious with police blowing whistles and waving arms :lol:
There were also protests which needed heavy policing with state and interstate forces.
Weather has been sunny with temperatures as high as 32 degs c , 90f, phew :001_cool:
Chicago is a fabulous city with much to see including a smashing waterfront to Lake Michigan with some sandy beaches.
Today, Tuesday we move on, we pick up the RV at 11am then start our trip south towards St Louis and Memphis. :001_smile:
