Advantages: The contrasting architecture. Music. Relaxing Parks. Disadvantages: Parking fees. Rush Hour.
' Wrigley Field which built in 1914 is the US second oldest baseball field. For just 25$ (about £13), you can have a 90 minute tour of the grounds and clubhouse.
I should here mention that Chicago has a second Baseball Club, the Chicago Sox, however as I didn't visit their clubhouse I cannot comment further.
~~D is for Driving~~
Almost all reviews of Chicago mention the mad and bad driving with warnings not to attempt driving whilst visiting! As we had a hired car for our road trip with our very first journey from the airport through Chicago to the hotel, I was more than apprehensive! I was happy to find though that on the whole, drivers were courteous and law-abiding!
Of course Chicago is a city, so be prepared for rush hour congestions in the mornings and early evenings. The biggest problem with driving through Chicago is ...

~~A little background~~
Chicago was the starting point for our recent road trip touring Northern America. The road trip mapped out, our next step was selecting the hotels.
For Chicago, our choice was the Chicago City Centre Hotel & Sports Club. Why?
The hotel is close to many of Chicago's attractions - close enough to walk to many with trolley stops nearby to those further away. But as our preference is for quiet - not on the busy Michigan Avenue!
The hotel has parking facilities - essential as we were hiring a car.
And last but not least we wanted a hotel at the beginning of the holiday that was a little bit special - most of the others on the trip mainly travel motels just somewhere to rest our heads. The Chicago City Centre Hotel & Sports Club is classified as three stars but has more of a four star look and feel ...
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.
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 ...
