I'll be on the road again, exploring the Chicago area during the long weekend.
Since Sarah spends some time in Chicago in order to train to become a flight attendant, I'll be able to trace her footsteps again. However, given that the actual training is in Elk Grove Village, just beyond O'Hare Airport, whereas I will be downtown around the Magnificent Mile, I'll be able to only experience Sarah's off-duty hangouts in and around downtown. I will need a car to hang out in Elk Grove Village, and I won't have one during my stay in Chicago (it's just too much money and hassle).
Also, I don't have a functioning laptop. This means I won't be able to actually do any writing. However, I will still have Internet access at my hotel's business center, so I could blog briefly from there.
At least, I will be on Sarah's airline, so I should be able to observe some in-flight procedures and, of course, Sarah's coworkers. I've also requested an upgrade to first class on the return flight, so that I can observe first class procedures as well; I hope the elite-level frequent fliers won't gobble up all available seats.

Have a wonderful time in Chicago, Rachel! Say hi to Lake Michigan for me--I miss it already!
I noticed there is a Freedom Museum downtown, I believe in either the Tribune or Sun Times building dedicated to freedom of speech. I didn't have a chance to explore it when I was in town...Maybe it would be worth visiting?

Hello Gayle,
Yes, I'm aware of the new Freedom Museum, and it's at the Tribune Tower. Since I will spend quite a bit of time on the Magnificent Mile (shopping for that Sarah look), I'll definitely stop by - and reflect on it on my other blog.
I'll definitely visit your favorite hangout, the Shedd, as well.
Thanks for the warm wishes. I can't wait for the trip.
Rach
