Disney to Bloomingdales.
Bloomingdales alone has six floors of shopping with hundreds of the top brands to choose from. Shopping can get very tiring!!
~~T is for Trolley Tour~~
Chicago's operates a hop-on hop-off trolley tour daily except Thanksgiving, December 10th, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. The tour lasts for 2 hours from start to finish but of course you can get on and off as many times as you wish. A pre-recorded tour is given through head phones available in many languages. The tour costs $26 for adults and $15 for children. You even get a voucher for a free Hershey's chocolate bar and Garrett Popcorn sample!
~~U is for Union Station~~
Chicago's Union Station was built in 1925. It is one of the last remaining grand American railway stations. The waiting room is well worth a visit with the 112 ft high vaulted ...

Advantages: Gets me from A to b efficiently Disadvantages: It's an airport!
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.

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 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 ...
