“Never been to Chicago? Put it on your bucket list now!”

I always had the Windy City on my bucket list- the architecture, the food, those friendly Mid-Western people, the neighborhoods, the Lake, the Loop…but never had the chance to go.

So I just did it- I booked the ticket and researched how to get there, where to stay, what to do, and most importantly- where to eat and spa and shop!

Travel to Chicago:

Fly into Midway Airport only- it’s the best way to avoid delays and congestion at other airports.

Take the long walk (or wheelchair if needed) to the Metro stop at Midway- it takes you right to the Loop and all the hotels downtown,etc.

Stay at a Hotwire.com hotel- 4,4.5 or 5-star is my preference- I got the Marriott Magnificient Mile- top suite- great deal and prime location.

Eat at the world famous pizza place, hot dogs, and steak- here’s where I ate:

With so many tours/activites- how do I decide? I did tons of research on social media/websites, and found my top picks for 3 days, allowing for some down time and people watching/ (just being, not just running around and ‘doing’)
