Sorry if I was too vague in my the first post on this thread.
For those afraid to click the link the get together is in Chicago, Illinois, USA, planet Earth. The link on the web page has all the info on hotels, restaurants, airports, etc.
If you are still confused for a slight fee we can have someone meet you at the airports. However, if you fly into town any cabbie would be able to take you to the address I posted on State St.
As far as hotels there is anything you want. I’m staying overnight at the Omni a sorta ok hotel in the Gold Coast area. Those who watch Oprah know the hotel as the place where she keeps her guests and where she has an apartment. Another thing about this particular area it is close to the gathering spot, Rush St ( Midwest version of times square), and shopping at the infamous Water Tower Place (which is where I’ll be before the get together) Restaurants? Anything thing you can imagine and then some.
If you are driving then check out the link on the map on the web page and it will zoom out to Tri-State which is the hub of America.
HTH
Any more questions just ask
