Chicago We Are Here

April 21, 2008

We made it to Chicago! The flight was 20 minutes early and we made it to the hotel in record time. Enough time to head out to the theater and see if we could get tickets to a show. We scored VIP Cast Member seats to see Jersey Boys! Is that cool or what? The show was great – I'll be driving everyone crazy in the next few days humming the score. Come a day or two early and you can get into all kinds of things. My Chicago friends were correct. They told me to get here early and take in the sights and sounds. Jersey Boys was good for both. I never have been one to sit in my room when there is so much to do. How about you? What fun things are you planning? Write and let me know.
