great start in chicago

Wow! This place is amazing. We did plenty of research before coming so we new what to expect and Chicago hasn’t disappointed.

The holiday started well, with an upgrade to business class for our flight over – a rare luxury and most welcome on the almost nine-hour journey!

Day one highlights included a breathtaking architectural cruise along the river, (window) shopping on the ‘Magnificent Mile‘ and Millennium Park, featuring ‘The Bean’…

Day two was spent touring River North, the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park and lazing around on North Avenue beach, one of 28 Chicago beaches!

These obviously aren’t my pics; unfortunately I have some camera/MacBook compatibility issues so will have to wait until we return before uploading photos.

Today we are off to Lakeview for most of the day. I am being gently persuaded to get off the computer so I’d better go! More to follow soon…:-)
