Back in Chi-town

Glad to report that I have arrived safely with all of my bags (which came to a total of 50kg including hand luggage - although I have had to erase the memory of getting down the steps between the Bakerloo and Piccadilly line interchange with all of those bags - too horrid for words), but completely exhausted, in the Windy City. I am a Virgin Atlantic convert - there is no other way to fly across the Atlantic even in Economy class - fair leg room, weather reports which amounted to 'it's sunny but a bit nippy outside' (what more do you need to know) but best of all GU desserts for pudding. Honestly I've flown with a lot of airlines this year and they rock - although Thai comes a very close second with their incredible Penang curry. 

Anyway, I digress, Jeff flies in later tonight after 6 weeks of learning Spanish in Mexico ... and we then head out to the mid west countryside for his good friends' J and Hannah's wedding ...
