Chicago airport.
On a recent visit to san Diego, we had to have a stop in Chicago airport for a couple of hours...most of my travelling seems to be spent in airports!
It was the busiest airport in the United States until Atlanta became the busiest and it was apparently voted best airport in North America in 2000...that's 8 years ago so i don't know which airport has been winning since then.
The airport is 20 miles from downtown Chicago but since we weren't actaully going to Chicago we didn't actally leave the airport so I can't comment on the transport links.
**The Terminals**
Of course when stuck in an airport these are the places you see most often.
There are 4 terminals and strangely enough these are Terminals 1, 2, 3 and Terminal 5 which is the International Terminal...whatever happened to number 4?
All of the terminals are ...

Advantages: A warming, pleasant atmosphere with spotless rooms and good service Disadvantages: Decor not particularly modern
clean and fresh and really the place could not have been faulted.
Breakfast was included within the price and you got a good sized English breakfast which was home cooked and tasted delicious (so I was told!). It is a family run guest house which means the employees were very keen to ensure that all your needs were taken care of and they obviously care greatly for their business which is good to know.
~Prices~
Prices vary depending on what room you have but they seem to vary between £35.00 and £70.00 per night. You can book a single room, double room, twin room or family room and each has en-suite facilities which again are basic, but clean and tidy as required.
~Local Amenities~
As said previously you are in the heart of Stourport in this guest house so you are only a stones throw away from local shops, pubs, cafes ...
Advantages: A great city, with every amenity Disadvantages: Bloody cold in December, and I lost my hat!
A is for Architecture: Some of the finest modern architecture in the world makes Chicago a showcase city for anyone interested in BIG BUILDINGS!!! I was unaware until my visit that Chicago is very much Frank Lloyd Wright country, with the Robie House a great example. Meis Van Der Rohe was another architect who practised in and around the city. Chicago is also home to the second tallest building in the world, which is a rather sad thing to claim, really, but it was the tallest for a good long time before the Petronas Tower in Malaysia was erected. I speak of the Sears Tower, of course. Enough concrete to build a 5-mile stretch of 8-lane highway, enough telephone cable to stretch around the world twice and enough hyperbole to give a Sleevie indigestion. Great views from the Skydeck viewing station though: 103 floors above the street ...
