Chilly Chicago

Made it to Chicago where it was very chilly.  I was lucky to get a non-stop flight just in case something happens, then I could just go home and sleep in my own bed.  There were no problems and the flight took off on time.

On the way, all was white as far as the eye could see.

Arrived early afternoon and headed straight for the office.  It was a shock to step off the plane onto the jet way and feel that ice cold wind.

I was also lucky to stay across the street from my office at the Sofitel.  The room was tiny in comparison with the room I had in Cambodia, but everything was well appointed.

The bath was large with a separate shower and bath.

Since it was so cold, I opted for room service the first night with a very fancy caesar salad with chicken.

The view from my room was full of snow.

It did snow while I was there and I could see it from the office window.

On the way out, I was unlucky in that my flight was cancelled even though the plane was there, no crew could be found since they were trapped on the east coast.  I did get a comped room at the Marriott near the airport.

This was the view from the window.

I grabbed a late lunch in the hotel dining room.

It took most of the next day to get home since I had to route through Dallas and had a very long layover.  It was so nice to come home to the mild weather.

After unpacking, Pepper let me know that she would be coming along next time.
