So this time tomorrow I will have landed in Chicago on the first leg of my trip. In Chicago I'll be meeting up with my other travel companions, Sarah and Georgann. We'll also be meeting with another friend, Becky, for a little bon voyage dinner at an Italian restaurant, and then heading off to Georgann's to settle in for the night and watch the Celtic Thunder Take Me Home show. They still haven't played it in my viewing area, so I'm looking forward to seeing the spring show.
Tuesday will be a day for us all to get acquainted and talk about the trip itinerary and maybe even a little pampering, until it's time to head for the airport around 3PM for the 7Pm flight to Dublin.
We're planning on going to a Chicago landmark eatery, Portillos, for lunch. From what I hear it's great food but a little on the "heart attack on a plate" type menu. One time can't kill me, will it? LOL (I'll let you know know about their cheese fries in a later blog)
After tons of packing and unpacking I have finally conquered the suitcase, and it closes just fine without being expanded. I'm hoping that I will not miss the items I am leaving behind, but have opted for a few that are not as bulky in the suitcase. This changing weather has left me to rethink my travel clothes for tomorrow at least 3 times. Funny thing is that I'm actually back to my original choice.
My check off list is down to about 3-4 items, so I'm happy not to be rushing around at the last minute. Which is really amazing for me. So I'm off to finish those last items and get some dinner.
Chicago, here I come!
