Chicago Diary - Pt 1

Saturday 5/26
Minneapolis – 2:20 p.m.

Well I’m sitting here in the Minneapolis airport. Leg one of the flight to Chicago is over. Terrible flight. Tons of turbulence, cramped small seat. Just really unbearable all the way around. It was a full flight so didn’t have any seat options to upgrade to.
We did however just move to the exit row for the next leg – so at least we will have more room this time.
Watched Shrek The Third on the flight. So so. I’d give it a 2 ½ out of 5 stars. Started Spiderman 3 and so far it’s pretty good. The Sandman effects are kick ass. I will probably watch some more on the next flight.
Well it’s almost boarding time so I need to shut the computer off.
Wireless costs $9.95 here to log on. Forget that!! It was FREE in Orlando.

Sunday 5/27
Chicago – 6:25 a.m.

Our flight out of Minneapolis got delayed so we arrived late into a rainy and windy Chicago O’Hare airport. Pretty decent flight this time around thank god! Shawn was here to pick us up, and our luggage was not lost so all is well.
Went to a place called Noodles to eat where we met up with Kim and Nicole. Really good food there. It’s a build your own pasta place. Debbie got the Whole Grain Tuscan Fettuccine with Chicken and I had Penne with the house marinara with parmesan crusted chicken breast with a rustic roll.
After a short stop at Walgreens to pick up some toiletries were arrived at Shawn and Kims house. WOW. This place is incredible. 3 bedroom 2 story house sitting on 2 ½ acres on the outskirts of Chicago in the ‘village’ of Mundeline. Just a fantastic house!
We got the grand tour and then settles down for a bit of a chat then exhausted we spilled into bed.
As we are not on any type of schedule, not sure what the plan for the day may be, but it looks like the rain has let up.

Cool! Sounds like the 2nd leg was better than the first. Flying is just not fun anymore. I'll check back to see what you do while you're there. BLOG away DUDE!

I liked Spidey 3 -- not as good as 1, 'bout the same as 2. The special effects WERE kick-ass tho. The Sandman thing was cool. It'll prolly be better than Pirates 3.
