handy-dandy maps!

This is how to get from the hotel to the H/D meet-up! You will pass by the Art Institute (two stone lions guarding the front... how appropriate!) and then you will see two, tall weird fountains depicting people's faces... children will probably be running around and it's hard to miss. In the distance there'll be a big silver bean. You'll be looking ( Read more... )

Wow, you are the best...we're coming in on the Metra, so this will be a big help.

Me, too... I live 5 minutes away from a Metra stop, so it's all very convenient, haha. Which line are you taking? Double check that it ends up at the LaSalle St. Station, because there are several Metra lines... some end up at Union Station!

Thanks, yes, at first I was thinking I was coming in at Union Station (not sure why, but I guess it was the familiarity with the name), but I'm coming from New Lenox on the Rock Island line.

I'm just not sure how it will be, walking with luggage, from the station. It doesn't look far, but I plan on bringing my laptop which will get heavy after a while, plus I have my 9 year old son. I'm sure I'll end up having to carry his luggage too. And 16 pounds of chocolate for 150 goodie bags!

I might see you on the train! I'll be getting on at the 99th St. Station. =)

I don't think it's much of a walk, but then I've been hauling my suitcase around major European cities for a month this summer, so I guess I'm seasoned for this kind of thing, haha. Taxis are always an option - it would probably only be a few bucks from any of these stations!

That's right, I forgot about your trip. That must have been so much fun.

I expect we'll be taking the train that leaves at 1:33 from New Lenox so we'll be getting into downtown a little before 3 p.m. check-in. I'm not going to the concert, only to Quimby's, so that should be enough time to settle in and tour the hotel, maybe walk to Walgreens to buy a beach towel or mat to sit on for the meetup. I also need to find a place to buy lunch to take the the meetup too.

No one's ever seen a picture of me, so I'll probably post one on my LJ over the weekend just to make it easier. That would be cool if we ended up on the same train. My son always hauls us up top, and I don't expect it will be too crowded at that time of day.
