A Week In Chicago
My brother-in-law had a work trip to Chicago and wanted to know if I wanted to tag along and work from the windy city this week. Jenny was all for it as long as I went to IKEA and a few other stores. So here I am in Chicago staying at a sweet hotel.
After my free breakfast I worked in the atrium of the hotel. I guess my two hours on their wireless concerned them because a manager approached me and asked if I was a guest with them. “yes” I replied. Which room he wanted to know. I said, “307.” To which he walked back. Then returned again and wanted to know my name.
Had lunch at Portillo’s which was fine and tasty. Got myself some Dunkin Donuts Coffee and then stumbled upon a Barne’s & Noble.
Back home the closest Starbucks is a 90 minute drive. My total walk to Barnes & Noble was about 10 minutes. On that walk I passed 7 Starbucks. I can tell this is going to be a great week but wow EXPENSIVE!
