I hope you're enjoying yourself in Chicago. Are you at the Hilton on Wacker? I love that spot since you're in the middle of everything.

Have fun at IKEA!

No, it's farther south, on Michigan just a little north of the Field Museum, and a little south of the Chicago Art Institute.

It was a nice hotel, though. Very pretentious interior. :-)

I hope you guys had no major fire-related issues? I caught bits of news about it on the elevator (the hotel's elevators all had tiny TVs set to CNN) but didn't appreciate how big it was until I got home and had Internet access again.
